Reliable private transfer to Hanioti (Chaniotis) on Kassandra — approx. 93 km in around 1 hour 15 minutes. Fixed price, door-to-door, free child seats.
The route from Thessaloniki Airport "Makedonia" (SKG) to Hanioti on the Chalkidiki peninsula is one of the busiest routes in the region. The distance is approx. 90 to 95 kilometers (exactly around 93 km depending on the exit). Hanioti (often spelled Chaniotis) is located in the south of the Kassandra peninsula, the first "finger" of Chalkidiki.
A private transfer covers the route under good traffic conditions in approx. 1 hour 10 to 20 minutes. With public buses or shared shuttles it takes significantly longer due to transfer times and stops (up to 2.5 hours).
The route leads over well-maintained roads — primarily via the Thessaloniki – Nea Moudania national road and the Egnatia Odos (E90) towards Kassandra. The access to Hanioti is via the coastal road from Nea Moudania via Pefkohori.
The choice depends on budget, group size, and comfort requirements. Our private transfer starts at a fixed price: €115 per vehicle (up to 4 people) — often cheaper per head than a shared shuttle, which charges per passenger.

A private transfer is the most comfortable and reliable option — especially for families or travelers with lots of luggage. Unlike a metered taxi (which costs €120–€150 depending on traffic), the price is agreed in advance as a fixed price: €115 with us for the economy sedan.
Vehicles are assigned according to group size: Economy Sedan (1–4 pax, €115), Premium Sedan like the Mercedes E-Class (€130), and Economy Minivan for up to 8 people (€150). Demand is high in summer — please book in advance.
A cost-effective shared ride to your destination.
The cheapest but most time-consuming method:
Total approx. €25–€35 p.p., 2.5–3 hours with transfer.
Maximum flexibility for excursions (e.g. Athos, Possidi beach).
Choose the shuttle bus if you are traveling alone, have light luggage, and want to save money. Choose the private transfer if you are traveling as a family, have lots of luggage, arrive late, or want to go directly to your hotel — without picking up other passengers.
In the high season, taxi stands can get crowded: in August, waiting times can easily exceed 45 minutes at the stand — a pre-booked private transfer, on the other hand, waits punctually with a sign in the Arrivals Hall.
Hanioti is perfect for families. The town has many parks and a great beach. The ride takes about 75 minutes. Since I am a father and have lots of experience with family transfers, I ensure a smooth ride so the kids can take a nap before the holiday really starts.
A metered taxi often costs between €120 and €150. A pre-booked private transfer offers a transparent fixed price starting from €115 for up to 4 people.
