Kulatа railway station (Bulgarian: гара Кулата) is a railway station 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.

History

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

Services

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