Refugees as they come through Greece on their way to northern EU countries

Muhammad (14, on the left) and Muhammad (18, on the right) are refugees from Syria. They met in Izmir and decided to continue travelling together. They both left their families behind because there wasn’t enough money for everyone to travel. The youngest one comes from Aleppo and his family has a small mini market. He has been travelling for a month before he reached Thessaloniki. The older one is from Edlib and his family has a real estate business. He has been travelling for one month and twenty days.
They arrived to Thessaloniki at night-time by train and they boarded the local bus to the intercity bus station. There they can spend the night sleeping rough outside the bus station building, and board the bus to Eidomeni border in the morning. Refugees often arrive to Thessaloniki by train and then they go to the intercity bus station to board on the bus to Eidomeni border where they can cross to the Republic of Macedonia on foot.
