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!

From Piraeus port to Athens International Airport

The Question:

Hello Stavros
We will be arriving in Piraeus Port Oct.25,2008 and staying at the Piraeus Dream Hotel.What is best way you would recommend?We would like to transfer to international airport by express bus for our 5:20 a.m flight to U.S.How would you recommend we proceed.
Thank You
Tony


The Answer:

Hello Tony!
From The Piraeus Dream Hotel you can catch the airport bus line X96 which departs from the metro station of Piraeus (green line). The bus departs at 00.30 and 01.00 and approximately takes 1 hour to reach the airport. As you need to take a transatlantic flight you need to be at the airport at least 3 hours in advance and this is why I am recommending this bus time. On the other hand, you can also take a taxi and even better reserve one to pick you up from the hotel. Since it is going to be in the night, traffic won't be an issue and you will arrive quite fast at the airport. The taxi cost won't exceed tha amoun of 55 euros. You can also ask at the hotel's reception to book you a taxi.
Hope this helps you!

Taxi Cost from Thessaloniki to Volos

The Question:

we are flying into Thessaloniki, landing 11.20am and need to get to Volos before 14.30 to get the last ferry to Alonissos.
The bus apparently takes 3 hours between Thessaloniki and Volos, so we\'re looking at taxis.
How much would it cost to get from the airport to the ferry port - we\'ve been quoted about 200euro?
Many thanks
M


The Answer:

Hello!
As far as I have checked the taxi tranfer from Thessaloniki to Volos will actually cost you around 200 euros, but once more this depends on the taxi company that you will choose or if you do not use a taxi company, the deal with the taxi driver that you will make.
Hope I have helped!

Taxi cost from Volos airport to Afetes

The Question:

What would be the cost of a taxi from Volos airport to Afetes near Afissos and Neochori?This would be in August 2009.We would also need a return taxi two weeks after arrival.
Thank-you


The Answer:

Hello there!

Taxi costs depend whether the taxi driver works for a taxi company or for himself. The second choice is very common especially in smaller cities of Greece. As a result, you need to bargain the transfer cost to your destination as soon as you pick the taxi at airport. For the route in question, I suppose that the taxi driver should not charge you more than 40-50 euros (including your luggage) but once again, since there is no specific pricelist and taxi drivers decide on their own, this is no certain thing. Just keep in mind that the distance is 34km and that it will take you approximately 45 minutes to reach the village.
Hope I have helped!

Taxi charge from Piraeus to Ledra Marriot Hotel

The Question:

How much would you charge for a taxi from the cruise ship terminal to the Ledra Marriott?

The Answer:

Hello!
Depending where exactly the cruise ship terminal is the prices for a taxi transfer can vary. If the terminal is at the Piraeus port, then the taxi, considering light traffic, should not take you more than 8-10 euros (luggage included).

The price of the taxi should not be more than 85 euros for this specific itinerary! But you need to have decided on the final price that you will pay in advance so as to avoid changes when you arrive at the final destination!
