Reliable, punctual and comfortable. Transfer from SKG Airport to Chalkidiki, Sani Resort and all over Greece.
We take you safely and comfortably from Thessaloniki Airport to any destination in Northern Greece and beyond.
Thessaloniki Airport (SKG), also known as Makedonia Airport, serves as the primary international gateway for travelers heading to the Halkidiki region. Depending on your final destination on the three peninsulas, the distance from Thessaloniki Airport to Chalkidiki ranges significantly.
For travelers prioritizing efficiency, a private transfer is the optimal solution. Unlike public transport, which requires navigating multiple connections, a private taxi covers the distance to Kassandra in approximately 50–70 minutes, while the journey to the farther Athos peninsula can take up to two hours. As of 2026, prices for pre-booked private transfers typically start around €90 for the closest destinations like Kallithea, offering a fixed rate that eliminates the uncertainty of local taxi meters.
| Destination Peninsula | Distance from SKG (approx.) | Approx. Travel Time |
|---|---|---|
| Kassandra (West) | 80 – 90 km | 50 – 70 min |
| Sithonia (Middle) | 110 – 120 km | 80 – 95 min |
| Athos (East) | 130 – 140 km | 100 – 120 min |
*Traffic Note: During the peak summer season (July–August), heavy touristic traffic on the single artery leading to the peninsulas can add 15–20 minutes to these estimates.
Being the westernmost peninsula, Kassandra is the closest to Thessaloniki. Popular resorts like Sani, Kallithea, and Hanioti are approximately 80km to 90km from the airport, taking about 50 to 70 minutes via the Thessaloniki–Nea Moudania highway.
The middle leg, known for its rugged landscapes and beaches like Nikiti and Vourvourou, sits roughly 120km away. The drive here usually takes between 80 and 95 minutes.
The easternmost leg, home to Ouranoupoli and the monastic community of Mount Athos, is the furthest. At approximately 140km from SKG, the transfer duration can extend to 110–120 minutes.
