Prices are fixed per vehicle for up to 3 passengers (Economy). Times are for normal traffic. Click a hotel for its own page with all vehicle prices and directions.

The eastern seafront along Nikis and Megalou Alexandrou avenues is the closest part of the city to the airport. Your driver comes in along Georgikis Scholis Avenue and Vasilissis Olgas Avenue, so this is the shortest and cheapest hotel transfer from SKG.

• Makedonia Palace stands next to the HELEXPO exhibition centre, ideal for the Thessaloniki International Fair in September. Drop-off is under the hotel’s covered entrance. Makedonia Palace transfer
• Nikis Avenue is a promenade, so cars stop at side entrances: Chrysostomou Smyrnis 2 for Daios Luxury Living, and the hotel entrances for ON Residence and Teight Hotel.
• The White Tower and Aristotelous Square are a 5 to 15 minute walk from all four hotels.

The heart of Thessaloniki has busy one-way streets and pedestrian zones. Your driver takes the faster of two routes for the time of day: the ring road (Peripheriaki) coming down through Saranta Ekklisies, or straight through the city on Vasilissis Olgas and Tsimiski.

• Aristotelous Square is pedestrian, but our cars are allowed onto the paved area: you step out right in front of Electra Palace.
• Kalapothaki Street is pedestrian too, and our cars may enter: your driver stops at the door of S Hotel Boutique.
• Egnatia Palace sits on busy Egnatia Avenue, so drop-off is at the side entrance on Mitropolitou Gennadiou.
• MonAsty and The Excelsior have kerbside drop-off on Vasileos Irakleiou and Mitropoleos streets.

Metro Line 1 stations Agias Sofias and Venizelou are within a short walk of these hotels.

Ladadika, the old olive-oil market, is full of tavernas and bars, and the passenger port is right next to it. Further west along 26is Oktovriou Street, The Met and Porto Palace face the commercial port.

• Mediterranean Palace and Vanoro Hotel are a few minutes’ walk from the port terminal – handy if you arrive or leave by ferry or cruise ship.
• At The Met Hotel your driver drives up the ramp and stops right outside the lobby.
• Porto Palace is one of the largest conference venues in Northern Greece. Drop-off is at the main entrance on 26is Oktovriou.
• The Met and Porto Palace are a cross-city transfer, about 19 km. They are also the closest to the Kalochori and Sindos business areas.

Monastiriou Street runs west from the centre past the main railway station. Hotels here suit business travellers, rail passengers and big groups.

• ONOMA Hotel, Capsis Hotel and Holiday Inn are a 5 to 7 minute walk from the railway station. Capsis is also close to Dimokratias metro station.
• At Holiday Inn your driver stops in the lay-by on Egnatia Avenue, outside the main entrance.
• Grand Hotel Palace is at the western entrance of the city, with halls for about 3,000 people. Lazart Hotel is in Stavroupoli, opposite the Lazaristes cultural complex.
• Arriving by train? See our airport–railway station transfers. Taking a coach? See KTEL Makedonia bus station transfers.

Your driver helps you with your luggage to the door in every case. You receive the driver’s name, phone number and car details before your transfer.

We recommend a pickup about 2½ hours before an international flight and 2 hours before a domestic flight.

Early flight? Our drivers work around the clock. The booking form shows the exact price for the time you choose. Book your return together with your arrival and both transfers are arranged in one booking.
