Transportation from Thessaloniki City Center to Thessaloniki Airport
The easiest way to reach SKG Airport from the city center is to take a taxi, as you can find a taxi almost anywhere in the city at any time. If you are right in the city center, this 13-15 kilometer road takes about half an hour. Taxi fares in Thessaloniki can be considered more affordable on average compared to many European cities.
Another way is to use the buses, the first stop of which is Thessaloniki Central Train Station. While this journey takes approximately 40-50 minutes with the 01X line you will take during the day, it takes approximately 50-60 minutes with the 01N bus you will take at night.
You can buy the necessary ticket for the journey from the kiosks in the squares before you get on the bus, or you can pay in cash when you get on, but you will need coins for this.
