Getting to and from Thessaloniki Port

Getting to and from Thessaloniki Port

By Taxi

The taxi rank is located directly outside the passenger terminal. While taxis are readily available, a pre-booked transfer is the most comfortable way to navigate the city, especially with luggage.

A transfer with Aegean Taxi provides a professional, local driver and a fixed price for your journey.

This is the ideal option for a direct ride to your hotel in the city center or for a timely connection to Thessaloniki Airport (SKG).

By Bus

Thessaloniki's public bus system (OASTH) is a very efficient and affordable way to travel from the port. Numerous bus lines stop right outside the passenger terminal.

These buses offer frequent connections to the city's main hubs, including Aristotelous Square and the central railway station, making it easy to explore the city.

For routes and schedules, visit the official OASTH website: oasth.gr

By Car

Numerous car rental agencies are located near the port. A rental car is only recommended if you are using Thessaloniki as a starting point for a trip to Chalkidiki or other regions of Northern Greece.

Driving and parking within Thessaloniki's city center can be very difficult and is not advised for visitors.

For exploring the city itself, the excellent public transport and taxi services are far more convenient.

By Water Bus

During the summer months, a public water bus service operates from the port, offering a scenic journey across the Thermaic Gulf. This is a unique and enjoyable way to travel.

The boats connect the city port with the popular coastal suburbs of Peraia and Nei Epivates, which are known for their beaches and fish tavernas.

It's a wonderful alternative to road transport for a short excursion and provides fantastic views of the city from the sea.
