Thessaloniki-Volos-Thessaloniki Ktel route

The Question:

Hi Stavros........
What is the cost of an adult return ticket from Thessaloniki airport to Volos and would we have to book in advance or buy the tickets on the day.
Regards
Chris Norman


The Answer:

Hello there,

I assume you mean KTEL bus ticket. Well, the price Thessaloniki-Volos-Thessaloniki is 29,50 E and there are routes from Thessaloniki on 09.00 - 11.00 - 13.00 - 15.15 - 17.00 - 19.15 - 21.15 - 23.00. You don't have to book in advance your ticket, just call 0030 2310 595408 to check availability and plan to arrive there at least 30 minues before the departure to get a ticket.
From the airport of Thessaloniki to the KTEL bus station the taxi will cost you about 40 E or you can get the public transportation.

I hope this has been useful to you!

How far is Thessaloniki airport from the KTEL coach station?

The Question:

Hi Stavros. We need to get from Thessaloniki airport to Volos. Have read all the messages below so I know about the coach etc. My question is, how far is Thessaloniki airport from the KTEL coach station, since, as we are 4 people, we may want to take a taxi rather than the number 78 bus. We have friends in Volos, so we don\'t have any transport problems once we arrive in Volos.We may also wish to take a taxi from Coach station in Thessaloniki to the airport on our return, so this information would be useful.
Many thanks
Regards
James


The Answer:

Hello James!

You can be from the Thessaloniki Airport to Thessaloniki KTEL coach station in about 40 minutes under normal traffic. The taxi should cost you about 25 Euros. If you want to travel after midnight then the rate is double. Also keep in mind that during noon the traffic could be a problem, so the taxi may cost you a bit more.

At any case you can arrange a taxi transfer for any place in Thessaloniki and find out more about the rates by calling on 0030 2310 214900.

Hope I helped you!

How do I get to Ptolemaida?

The Question:

How do I get from Athens to Ptolemaida, direct as possible?Can I fly to Finland from Northern Greece or will I have to fly from Athens?I will be visiting in Later January\' 09


The Answer:

Hello there!

Ptolemaida is 513 km from Athens and there are KTEL buses going there in about 8 hours. The time table is 07:45, 12:15, 15:15 and 21:00 (to book your ticket call at +30 210 5147382). From Thessaloniki, the distance is much shorter (163 km) and the trip lasts less than 2 hours. There are KTEL buses as well and for timetable you can call +30 2310 595445.
As far as your flight to Finland is concerned, I suggest you check the dates you are interested in at www.fantasticgreece.com. They 've got very good prices. I tried and found easily flights from Thessaloniki airport to Helsinki so you should have no problems to fly to Finland from Northern Greece instead of returning back to Athens.

From Thessaloniki airport to the Port

The Question:

I am looking at a cruise that leaves from Thessaloniki and I want to know what is the distance between Thessaloniki airport and port and what is the best way to get from one to the other?
Thanks


The Answer:

Hello!
The port of Thessaloniki is located in the city center and can easily be reached. If you take a taxi from the airport then it will take you approximately 30 minutes to reach it, although this depends on the traffic. You can also take the airport bus to reach the city center, but it will definitely take you far more time, approximately 1h and 15 minutes, again according to traffic.

Hi Marco!
All buses from Thessaloniki to Chalkidiki start from the main bus station KTEL in Thessaloniki town. To reach this station you just have to pick up the bus from the airport no 78, which will take you in approximately 45 minutes there. Due to the fact that the bus schedules constantly change it is better to call them to fnd out regarding timetables and prices at 0030 2310 500111.
