For a second day, people have been voluntarily boarding buses departing from the Idomeni camp.
The area where up to 12,000 people lived in squalid conditions for months is now a sea of mostly abandoned tents, which are gradually being cleared away with bulldozers.
Charles Boian, from the United Nations refugee agency, expects the site to be completely empty in a matter of days.
"Some people are being transferred to other sites, others are leaving of their own volition and looking for other options, some are going to Athens, other parts of Greece, so there's a lot of movement of people and we are watching that very closely. But I expect the Idomeni site to be pretty much empty, pretty soon."
As the evacuation continued without incident a small stream of people decided instead to walk towards an informal camp about six kilometres down the road.
Jahina Al-Ali, from Syria, says she became frustrated with the process of registering for relocation, where applicants only had an hour a day to make an appointment through Skype.
She says people had been forced to live in ways not even fit for animals.
"The life that we live, animals didn't live it, even animals. We go to Europe to find life because when I was a child my mother told me that Europe give human rights and respect to human and respect to even animals but we didn't anything."
Many of the those who did board the buses were taken to the Oreokastro camp near the city of Thessaloniki.
But there have been reports that people already in the camp began shouting at the new arrivals not to get off the buses due to the camp's conditions.
Some even tried blocking the front gate.
Syrian man Abdul Aziz describes the situation at Oreokastro as appalling.
"They said they would move 1,000 people from Idomeni to a camp. But now we're 1,600. We can't sleep comfortably. There's no water, the bathrooms are very dirty, and there's no hygiene. There are no doctors or medical help. Even the very basic necessities aren't available. And still more people are arriving. How will these people drink water or shower? How will they stay clean?"
Other Idomeni residents have been taken to newly built shelters set up by local authorities and the army.
Stella Nanou, from the United Nations refugee agency, says many of the shelters are still being assessed.
"So far we have seen that some of these meet some very basic standards but some others are in dire need of improvement. We stand ready to reinforce our intervention in order to improve the conditions in these facilities and also to create new sites because we also need to increase the capacity of these new sites."
In a meeting with the European Union's Migration Commissioner, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras says clearing the Idomeni camp is an important step in managing the refugee crisis.
"Idomeni has been a wound for many months now. We managed without the use of violence to evacuate the railway lines and essentially the camp itself, which was a wound in the management of the refugee crisis. Admittedly, it was successfully managed."
Clearing the railway tracks will also be a big economic step.
For more than two months transport businesses have been unable to move their goods through the area, stunting efforts to kickstart Greece's economy after six years in recession.
This week the number of people blocking the tracks has dropped from 1,000 to around 200.
Anastasios Sachpelidis, from the Transporters Association of Northern Greece, says he's relieved by the developments.
"This should have happened a long time ago. The line has been closed for 66 days. It's a big loss. We lost clients, money, time and credibility. I hope that the line will soon reopen and will not close again."
