How do I book a flight to Halkidiki airport?
The central part of Halkidiki consists of mountainous areas, which makes it difficult to
operate an airport. In case you want to access Chalkidiki by plane, you will land 15
kilometers southeast of Thessaloniki, at Macedonia Airport.
Macedonia International Airport is 25 minutes from the center of Thessaloniki. Its area
reaches 32,000 square meters and is the third largest airport in Greece. Flights to
Macedonia airport are made by many European Union countries, as well as other
countries abroad such as Turkey and Israel.
Which bus to choose from to Thessaloniki from Halkidiki?

You can use the public transport of Thessaloniki or the private buses of KTEL Chalkidiki.
O.A.S.TH. (public buses) facilities are located in the center of Thessaloniki, right next to
the Thessaloniki Railway Station. Through public buses your options are limited. Initially,
you will have to go from OASTH’s main facilities to its eastern terminals with lines 2, 3 and
8. Otherwise, you can also use line 12. From eastern facilities (IKEA station) you can use
lines 69 and 70 to get to Epanomi.
Epanomi is the closest place that urban transport can take you to because they are
forbidden to cross the borders of the Prefecture of Thessaloniki. From there you will need
to walk to the nearest beaches some kilometers away. The duration of the trip, the traffic
of the city and the fact that you can visit only some beaches of Halkidiki make urban
transport a bad choice.
Where do I get the private bus to Halkidiki?
The station of KTEL Chalkidiki is located in the area of Pilea, near the shopping center of
Macedonia (COSMOS). To get to the station you have to use the urban transport of the
city. Only line 45 ends at the KTEL station of Chalkidiki. At the moment, there is no direct
route from airport of Macedonia to KTEL Chalkidiki by urban transport.
In the KTEL station you can choose your destination. Waiting at the station is given, as
the routes are not often made. You are not able to book tickets from the day before,
except on the day you are traveling. If you do not find tickets for all your travel
companions, you will have to wait until the next trip in two or three hours. The duration of
the trip may exceed 2.5 hours if you are heading to one of the fingers of Halkidiki. The
private buses of Chalkidiki follow certain routes and reach specific destinations. Those
are fixed and can not deviate from their original programme to visit a beach or
sightseeing. This means that in most cases you cannot trust buses of KTEL in order to
travel to Halkidiki.

The limited destinations and the length of the trip will cause you to low rate this option.
Especially, if you are traveling with a company, the cost is rising too much and there is a
chance that you will not find tickets at the desired time. The cost of the tickets – without
return – amounts to 7 to 17 euro, depending on the place of arrival.
Can I book a taxi from Thessaloniki to Chalkidiki?

strong advantages over other means of transport. XLNS passenger cars can receive you

“Every moment of my vacation is valuable,” says Peter, who visited Greece and Halkidiki
for the first time last year. “I have been waiting all year to get vacation permit. I want to
get as quickly as possible in the hotel that I have booked. Can I do this by bus? My flight
arrived in Thessaloniki in the evening and the buses did not work then. I would have been
delayed at least six hours until I got to Nikiti. That’s why I decided to go to Nikiti by taxi. I
was already in the hotel in one hour and a quarter thanks to XLNS driver”.
