Practical information
How to get to Thessaloniki city center from the Airport
By Bus: Located just 16 km from Thessaloniki, the International Airport ‘Macedonia’ (SKG) is connected directly with the city center via bus lines OASTH N. 01X and N. 01N (night).
Along the route you can get off in the city centre (Bus Stop: Platia Aristotelous) or at an earlier stage, depending on where your hotel is located. The journey time from the airport to the centre of Thessaloniki is approximately 30 to 40 minutes. A ticket can be purchased from the ticket machine inside the bus, or from Tickets Outlets which one operates also in the region of Airport (Opening Hours on working days: 06:10 – 21:00). In addition, keep in mind that the ticket machine inside the bus does not return spare change.
A one way transfer ticket from the Thessaloniki Airport to city centre costs €2.
