Kulatа railway station (Bulgarian: гара Кулата) is a railway station[3] in the border village of Kulata, Petrich municipality, Blagoevgrad region, Bulgaria. It is a railway border checkpoint (connecting to the Greek station Promachon, and from there to Komotini and Thessaloniki) located 1.5 KM from the border with Greece.[4]

History

In 2015 a train to Kulata was delayed due to a bomb scare.[5]

Services

Although it is an extreme border station[6], the station is served daily by passenger trains to the cities of Sandanski, Dupnitsa, Petrich[7], Blagoevgrad and Sofia[8], including the international direction Sofia-Thessalonica-Sofia, which has been resumed since May 2014, after nearly 3 year suspension.
