Route Overview: Distance and Drive Time

The route from Thessaloniki Airport (Makedonia Airport, SKG) to Polichrono on the Kassandra peninsula leads you directly to one of Chalkidiki's most popular regions. The distance is approx. 86 to 87 kilometers, depending on the exact hotel you are going to in Polichrono.

With a private transfer, you cover this distance in approx. 1 hour 12 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Shuttles and public transport take significantly longer due to stops and transfers. We drive this route daily and know the shortest ways.

The driving time can vary — especially in the high season (July/August) and on weekends. Traffic jams often form before the Thessaloniki tunnel and near Nea Moudania. Some hotels in Polichrono are located slightly off the main road, which extends the last "mile".

Cost Comparison: Transfer, Taxi & Public Transport

The choice of transport significantly affects comfort and budget. A private transfer is not always the most expensive option, considering comfort and time savings — our fixed price starts €125 per vehicle.

Type of Transport Price (approx.) Duration Best For
Private Transfer (Sedan) €125 – €150 ~1h 15m Couples, families — door-to-door, no waiting
Minivan (7 Pax) €150 ~1h 20m Groups, many bags
Shuttle Bus €19 – €23 / pax 1h 45m+ Solo travelers, budget
Taxi (Taximeter) €130 – €170+ ~1h 15m Last-minute — price uncertain, night surcharge
Rental Car (Day Rate) €40 – €80 + fuel Flexible Explorers — freedom, but arrival stress

Taxi at the Airport

Official taxis are available, but you may have to queue during peak flight arrival times. The price is calculated by taximeter; surcharges apply for luggage or night trips — meaning the final price is uncertain.

Pre-booked Private Transfer

You have a fixed price and pay not a cent more, regardless of traffic. The driver is ready as soon as you have your luggage. Often cheaper for groups than booking two separate taxis.

Why We Recommend a Private Transfer

After a long flight, travelers just want to arrive. A private transfer offers a true "door-to-door" service — comfort, safety, and personal service included.

The route to Polichrono is scenic but partly runs through winding mountain sections and tunnels. Our drivers are licensed local professionals who master this route day and night, know the danger zones, and drive defensively. In modern vehicles (often Mercedes or VW), you can lean back, relax, and enjoy the sea view.

What Your Private Transfer Includes

  • Meet & Greet with name sign
  • Flight monitoring — free waiting in case of delay
  • Assistance with luggage to the car
  • Regularly serviced vehicles
  • 24/7 support with emergency number

Alternatives

Rental Car & Public Transport

Option Pros Cons
Rental Car Flexibility, independence Stress upon arrival, fuel costs, finding parking
Bus (KTEL) Very cheap Transfers, carrying luggage, often no air conditioning
Private Transfer Comfort, time savings, fixed price Fixed vehicle, no car during vacation

Public Bus (KTEL) — Route

There is no direct bus from the airport to Polichrono:

  1. Airport → KTEL Station Thessaloniki (Bus 78 or 78N, approx. 30–45 min)
  2. Intercity coach to Kassandra/Polichrono

Plan 2.5 to 3 hours in total. In the high summer (40 °C), dragging luggage between stations is very exhausting.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How expensive is a taxi from Thessaloniki Airport to Polichrono?

A pre-booked private transfer costs from approx. €125 to €150 (fixed price). A local metered taxi at the airport varies depending on traffic, night surcharge, and luggage — expect around €130 to €170. Advantage of a private transfer: fixed price, no night surcharges.

How long does the drive from Thessaloniki to Polichrono take?

On average approx. 1 hour 12 to 20 minutes for the 86 km. In the high summer, traffic jams at Thessaloniki and Nea Moudania can extend the time by 15–20 minutes — we take this into account in our planning.

Can I rent a car at Thessaloniki Airport?

Yes, providers like Avis, Hertz, and Sixt have desks at Makedonia Airport. Ideal for flexibility — but keep in mind toll fees on the national road and fuel costs, which often end up being more expensive than a transfer.

Is there a direct bus from the airport to Polichrono?

No. You must take the public bus (line 78 or 78N) first to the KTEL station in Thessaloniki and transfer there to an intercity coach to Polichrono — very inconvenient with a lot of luggage.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Flight monitoring is included. The driver monitors your arrival and waits accordingly. Be sure to provide your correct flight number when booking so we can track you.
