How to get from Thessaloniki airport to the city center?
There are three ways to get from Thessaloniki airport to the city center or to the Greek resorts: by city buses with transfers, by taxi or by a rented car. Let's consider each of these methods in more detail.
Bus from Thessaloniki airport to city center
The buses from Thessaloniki airport are usually new and air-conditioned, but very often crowded. Serves buses transport company O.A.S.TH.
There are direct buses from Macedonia Airport to the center of Thessaloniki. You will not be able to get from Macedonia airport to the Greek resorts in Halkidiki by direct bus: you will need to change at the bus station located on the outskirts of Thessaloniki. City buses # 78, # 78A and # 78N run between the airport and the KTEL bus station of Halkidiki in Thessaloniki, passing through the city center. Bus station address:ΚΤΕΛ ΧΑΛΚΙΔΙΚΗΣ A, Pilea 555 35.
- Bus route No. 78 runs twice an hour during the daytime - from 05:00 to 22:00 from the airport to KTEL station and from 05:50 to 23:00 from KTEL station to Thessaloniki airport.
- Bus route No. 78N runs in the evening and at night. The route runs every half hour from 23:30 to 05:30 from the airport to KTEL station and from 22:30 to 04:30 from KTEL station to Thessaloniki airport.
- Bus route No. 78A departs only once a day at 05:00 in the direction from the KTEL bus station to Thessaloniki airport.
The total travel time from the airport to the center of Thessaloniki is approximately 30-40 minutes. The ticket is purchased from a vending machine on the bus. Please note that the vending machine does not change. The cost of a ticket for one trip from Thessaloniki airport for an adult is 2 Euro, for students and pensioners - 1 Euro, for children under 6 years old travel is free. The ticket must be validated, otherwise it will be invalid, in a yellow punch.
In the course of buses from the airport, you can get off in the city center - on aristotle's square (Platia Aristotelous) and on main railway station of Thessalonikiin (Neos Sidirodromikos Stathmos).
Bus from Thessaloniki airport to Greek resorts in Halkidiki
If your destination is not the center of Thessaloniki but another Greek resort town, then you will need to take a bus to the KTEL bus station in Thessaloniki and change there to a bus to your resort in Halkidiki. Find out the number of your bus and its schedule at the box office at the KTEL bus station, where you can immediately buy a ticket. You can familiarize yourself with the schedule of buses to your resort in advance on the website of the KTEL Chakidikis bus station.
In this case, you do not need to drive through the city center on route no. 78 and make loops. In this case, you will need to take bus # 79 at the airport and take it to the A. S. IKEA (Anatolikos Stathmos IKEA) stop, after which transfer to bus # 36 / 36A / 36B to the KTEL Chalkidikis stop. This route will cost you 1 Euro for an adult and 0.5 Euro for a child.
Greek resorts on the trident of Halkidiki are spread over three of its "fingers": the peninsulas of Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos. If your resort is on the closest "finger" to Thessaloniki - Kassandra, you want to save money, and you are not worried about bus delays for an hour, then it makes sense to travel to your resort by bus. If you are traveling with children and you need to go to the “fingers” far from Thessaloniki - Sithonia or Athos, I recommend ordering a taxi transfer.
The distance to the main Greek resorts and the cost of travel to them from the KTEL bus station in one direction I have given in the table below.
Please note that many buses, especially long distance buses, leave only a few times a day, so it is best to check the timetable in advance. Prices are also subject to change, as happened in the summer of 2016 due to the increase in the VAT rate.
Bus from Thessaloniki airport to other cities in Greece
If your destination is not on the Halkidiki peninsula, then to move to another greek city from Thessaloniki (for example, to Athens, Larissa, Lefkada) by bus you will need to get from Thessaloniki airport to central bus station Thessaloniki (not to be confused with the bus stationKTEL Chalkidikis!).
Thessaloniki Central Bus Station - Macedonia Intercity Bus Station (KTEL Macedonia) - located at Giannitson 244, Thessaloniki 546 28. Buses to other countries also depart from this bus station: to Bulgaria (Sofia, Bansko), Turkey (Istanbul), Macedonia (Skopje), the Czech Republic and even to Germany.
