Distance, Drive Time and Traffic 2026

The route from Thessaloniki Airport (Makedonia Airport, SKG) to Pefkohori on the Kassandra peninsula in Chalkidiki is approx. 95 to 96 kilometers. Under normal traffic conditions, the drive with a private transfer takes about 1 hour 13 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.

Pefkohori is located on the east coast of the Kassandra peninsula. The route leads from the plains of Thessaloniki via the national road NE90/E79 towards the south. The road conditions are good — however, you should still calculate this distance of nearly 100 km into your travel planning.

In the high season (July/August), an extra 15–20 minutes are often added, especially on Saturdays (the main changeover day for charter tourists) and in the late afternoon before the crossings to Kassandra. Driving is most relaxed early in the morning around 06:00 or late in the evening after 21:00.

Direct Comparison of Options: Prices & Times

A private transfer is the most comfortable, but budget-oriented travelers often look for alternatives. A shared shuttle is available from approx. €19, but offers less comfort. A terminal taxi for the ~96 km is usually more expensive — with our fixed price: €120, however, you know the costs in advance.

Private Transfer (Fixed Price) 1h 15m – 1h 30m €120 High (Door to Door) Families, business travelers
Terminal Taxi 1h 15m – 1h 30m €130 – €160 High, but no fixed price Spontaneous travelers in a hurry
Shared Shuttle 1h 30m – 2h 00m €19 – €30 Medium (stops along the way) Budget travelers, solo travelers
Public Transport (KTEL) 2h 15m – 3h 00m < €15 Low (transfers) Backpackers

Private Transfer: Comfort & Reliability

A private transfer is the most stress-free option for your direct journey to your holiday destination. You receive a transparent fixed price including all taxes and tolls. The service includes a "Meet & Greet" in the arrival area: the driver waits with a name sign, helps with your luggage, and takes you directly to your hotel door in Pefkohori.

The vehicle selection ranges from compact economy sedans (up to 4 people, 3 bags) to spacious minivans for larger family groups. The flight monitoring is particularly practical: in case of delays, we wait automatically without you having to take action.

Included in the Fixed Price

  • Meet & Greet with name sign
  • Flight monitoring & free waiting
  • All highway tolls & taxes
  • Child seats on request (free)
  • "Door-to-door" to your hotel entrance
  • Payment online or cash to the driver

Overview of Bus, Taxi & Rental Car

By Bus (KTEL)

The cheapest option (approx. €2 shuttle + ~€13 regional bus), but requires patience and good luggage management.

  • Airport → KTEL Chalkidikis station (bus 78/78N, approx. 35–45 min)
  • Regional bus via Kassandra to Pefkohori, runs every 30–60 min during the day (7:00–20:00)
  • Total time including transfer & waiting: calculate 2.5–3 hours

Taxi at the Airport

Taxis are available at the terminal. For the ~96 km trip, be sure to negotiate a fixed price beforehand — it gets more expensive with a taximeter in traffic jams.

  • Typical prices are €130–€160

  • A pre-booked transfer is more transparent and avoids price discussions

Rental Car

Avis, Hertz, and Sixt are represented at SKG — flexible if you plan excursions (e.g. to Sithonia).

  • Route via the well-developed NE90/E79
  • Follow signs for "Chalkidiki" or "Kassandra"
  • Some road sections (Thessaloniki bypasses) are toll roads
