Thessaloniki → Thessaloniki city centre: key facts

A private transfer from Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) to Thessaloniki city centre costs €40 per car for 1–3 passengers and €50 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 18 km via A24; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the airport terminal, after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Thessaloniki airport is at Mikra, about 15 km south-east of the city centre. The drive takes 20 to 30 minutes on the ring road (Peripheriaki) and Egnatia Odos junctions into the city, then along Vasilissis Olgas or the waterfront. The ring road is busy at morning and evening rush hours, and the waterfront near the White Tower is closed to cars during events and marathons. The streets of the centre are narrow, and parking is difficult.

The centre of Thessaloniki is arranged along the waterfront promenade from the White Tower to the port. Aristotelous Square leads up to the Egnatia road, with the Rotunda, Arch of Galerius and the Roman Agora nearby. The upper town Ano Poli, with its Byzantine walls, is on the hill above. The old market quarters of Ladadika and Modiano are close to the port. Many hotels sit along Tsimiski and the seafront. Parts of Aristotelous and the Ladadika lanes are pedestrian.

Public transport instead: OASTH bus 78 from Airport to Thessaloniki centre (Aristotelous Square area / KTEL Macedonia), regular daytime service.
