Thessaloniki SKG Airport Transfers (SKG)

Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport Terminals and Arrivals

Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport uses a single passenger terminal for both arrivals and departures. Once you have collected your bags, follow the signs for the exit to reach the forecourt, where taxis and pre-booked transfers pick up passengers.

Arrivals at SKG can be busy at peak holiday periods and when several flights land close together. Allow a little extra time for baggage reclaim, especially on summer weekends, so that you are not rushing through the hall with a queue behind you.

How to Get from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport to Thessaloniki

The quickest way from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport to the city is usually a taxi or a private transfer, and the airport express bus is the main public option. Journey times depend on traffic, particularly during the morning and evening rush hours, so the time you need can vary from day to day.

• Official taxi: taxis queue at the rank outside the arrivals exit. Look for licensed cabs with the roof sign, and ask the driver to use the meter or confirm the fare before you set off.
• Private transfer: a driver meets you in the arrivals area and takes you directly to your address, with the fare agreed in advance.
• Airport express bus: the airport express service (route X1) runs between the airport and the city centre. It is a good choice for light luggage and travellers with time to spare.
• Car hire: rental desks are located in the arrivals area if you plan to drive yourself.

Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport Private Transfer and Taxi

A private transfer from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport suits travellers who want a fixed fare and a driver waiting for them on arrival. Taxis are convenient when you are ready to leave straight away, while a transfer works well for late-night landings, families and groups with heavy luggage.

Vonaride tracks your flight, so the driver can adjust the pick-up time if your SKG arrival is delayed, which matters at an airport where early or late landings are common. The fare is agreed at booking, so traffic on the route into Thessaloniki does not change what you pay. Drivers speak English, the driver waits in the arrivals area with a name sign, and waiting time is included, with its length shown before you book. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before your pick-up.

If you need a transfer from Thessaloniki airport, check prices or request a quote on the Vonaride website. The form asks for your flight details, pick-up time and destination in Thessaloniki.

Arriving in Thessaloniki: What to Know

Thessaloniki is Greece's second-largest city, set on the Thermaic Gulf, and most visitors spend their time around the seafront, the old town and the lively districts near the centre. Greek is the main language, but English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants and shops. The currency is the euro.

The city centre has narrow streets and busy traffic, so tell your driver the exact address or nearby landmark, such as the White Tower or Aristotle Square. Ladadika, the Modiano Market and the Ano Poli district are popular with visitors. In summer the city can be very hot, so plan outdoor sightseeing for the cooler parts of the day.
