Getting Around
How to get to and from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at SKG
Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport is connected to Thessaloniki and the wider Greece transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Thessaloniki's metro does not yet reach the airport.
OSETH city bus 1X (1N at night) runs to the city center in about 40 minutes (50 at night) for €2.00 (€1.00 reduced) — the cheapest way in.
Metered taxis take about 30 minutes to the center; expect roughly €25 by day and €35 at night from the designated rank.
Uber has very limited presence in Thessaloniki — Beat (Greece's dominant ride-hailing app) or FREENOW are the practical local equivalents.
Major agencies operate desks on site.
Bus 1X is the budget option and runs both day and night, but for late or heavy-luggage arrivals, Beat is a more reliable way to book a fair-priced ride than flagging a curbside taxi.
