About Bogorodica – Evzoni
Bogorodica – Evzoni continues North Macedonia's A1 motorway just past Gevgelija. On the Greek side the A1 motorway to Thessaloniki starts straight away, which makes this the main crossing from North Macedonia into Greece and, for many families driving from Poland, the last border before the Aegean. Cars are handled in both directions.
The 60-day data covers only entry into Greece; there is not enough for the return direction. The average wait is a little over an hour and a half. Wednesday is the best day (just under an hour and a half) and Monday the worst (about two hours), with Saturday and Sunday in between. The daily pattern is the striking part: the morning (6 am–noon) averages over three hours, with peaks around 8–9 am on Mondays and Saturdays, while in the evening the queue shrinks to around 40 minutes and at night to roughly an hour.
This border rewards going against instinct: rather than setting off at dawn, aim to arrive in the evening. If a morning crossing is unavoidable, Star Dojran – Dojrani by nearby Lake Dojran is a good option, typically around half an hour, with the Greek road leading towards Kilkis and Thessaloniki. The shortest waits, about 25 minutes, are at Medžitlija – Niki near Bitola, but that crossing lies far to the west and mainly suits drivers heading for western Greece.
