Thessaloniki Makedonia Airport (SKG) functions as northern Greece’s main international gateway, combining scheduled services from full-service carriers with a strong presence of low-cost airlines serving Europe and domestic routes. It’s located about 15 km east of the city centre, with taxi rides typically taking 20–30 minutes and costing roughly in the mid-range for Greek city transfers; express buses to the city (line X1/X2) usually take 30–45 minutes for a low fixed fare, while car hire is widely available. The terminal is compact and efficient, making transfers straightforward, though peak summer months can be busy. Overall it’s convenient for quick access to Thessaloniki and nearby holiday destinations, but travellers seeking extensive lounge facilities or late-night connections may find choices more limited than at larger European hubs.
