## About Star Dojran – Doirani

Lake Dojran is split by the border, and the Star Dojran – Dojrani crossing sits on its shore not far from Gevgelija. On the Macedonian side is the small town of Star Dojran, on the Greek side the village of Doirani, from where the road runs towards Kilkis and on to Thessaloniki. Cars are processed in both directions, and for drivers on the motorway through North Macedonia it is the nearest alternative to Evzoni.

The 60-day measurements cover only entry into Greece, so the return direction cannot be assessed. The typical wait is around half an hour. Monday is the worst day (about 40 minutes) and Friday the best (just under half an hour), with the rest in between. Mornings average close to 40 minutes, peaking around 7–8 am on Mondays and 10 am on Saturdays, whereas in the evening about 20 minutes is enough.

Star Dojran's biggest advantage comes in the morning, when Bogorodica – Evzoni typically means over three hours (a little over an hour and a half averaged across the day). If you plan to enter Greece before noon, the detour to the lake makes a lot of sense. Medžitlija – Niki is slightly quicker at about 25 minutes, but it lies near Bitola, far from the Thessaloniki route. Here, afternoons and evenings work best; Monday mornings are the time to avoid.
