## About Medžitlija – Niki

A short drive south of Bitola, the road to Florina in Greece crosses the border at Medžitlija – Niki. It lies away from the main E75 corridor, so it suits drivers heading for western Greece and those who want to skip Gevgelija and do not mind the longer route via Prilep and Bitola. Cars are processed in both directions.

The 60-day data shows only entry into Greece; there is not enough for the return. The queue here is short and very steady: about 25 minutes on average, with virtually no change across weekdays. Saturday is slightly slower, around half an hour, peaking early in the morning between 7 and 8 am. Time of day matters little – about 20 minutes at night and in the evening, around half an hour before noon.

Medžitlija – Niki is the fastest of the three North Macedonia–Greece crossings covered here. By comparison, Bogorodica – Evzoni averages a little over an hour and a half, and more than three hours in the morning, while Star Dojran – Dojrani takes around half an hour. For anyone bound for Thessaloniki or Halkidiki, though, this means a noticeably longer drive, so it pays off mainly when your destination is western Greece or when a morning jam is expected at Evzoni. The only time worth avoiding is Saturday morning.
