Transportation from Thessaloniki International Airport to Thessaloniki City Center
Since Thessaloniki Airport is only 13 km away from the city center, it is relatively easy to reach the city center from the airport when compared to many European countries.
The easiest way for this journey is to use Thessaloniki Airport taxis. There is a 24/7 taxi service at the airport. The taxi rank is located between exit 3 and exit 4 on the Arrivals floor. The journey time takes about 30 minutes under normal conditions.
If you are traveling as a large group or if you have too many bags, you can reach the city center with a private transfer from the airport. By making an early reservation from reliable sites on the Internet, you will be comfortable and you will arrive at your hotel quickly with the peace of mind of a car that greets you as soon as you land.
If you are going to make a lot of roads in Thessaloniki or if you say that you will go to the surrounding cities while you are here, you will have solved the problem of transportation from the airport to the city center of Thessaloniki by renting a car as soon as you get off your plane. There are offices of well-known car rental companies such as Avis and Sixt at the airport.
Another way to complete this journey is to take the buses from SKG Airport to Thessaloniki Central Train Station. For this journey, the bus numbered 01X during the day and the number 01N at night is used. The bus stop is located just in front of Gate 3 of Terminal 1.
You can buy the necessary ticket for the trip right from the box office next to the stop before you get on the bus, or you can buy it inside the bus, but you need to have coins for this because these devices do not give change. If you bought your ticket before boarding, you must operate it on the machines on the bus when you board. Buses depart every 30 minutes and the journey takes 40-50 minutes during the day and 50-60 minutes in the evening.
