About This Travel Portal

This website is an independent online travel guide for Thessaloniki "Makedonia" International Airport (SKG) — the main gateway to Thessaloniki, the Halkidiki peninsula, and the wider region of Central Macedonia in northern Greece. Our aim is simple: to help travellers plan their journey to and from the airport with clear, accurate, and up-to-date information, focused entirely on practical details.

What You Will Find Here

  • Flights: arrivals, departures, and an overview of the airlines serving SKG
  • Airport guides: terminals, facilities, services, and navigation tips
  • Transport: taxis, buses, private transfers, and car rental
  • Stays and layovers: hotels near the airport and advice for long waits
  • Travel tips: practical guides for the region, including Halkidiki

Every guide is available in 16 languages, so travellers arriving from across Europe and beyond can read the same practical detail in their own language. Whether you are landing at SKG for a summer holiday in Halkidiki, a city break in Thessaloniki, or a connection onward through northern Greece, the goal is the same: to save you time, money, and guesswork.

Our Editorial Team

This guide is written and maintained by the Thessaloniki Airport Guide Editorial Team — travel researchers and editors who specialise in airport and destination content for Greece. Rather than republishing marketing copy, we approach every page from a traveller's point of view and answer the questions that actually matter on the day: what does it cost, how long does it take, where exactly do you catch it, and what should you watch out for. Each guide is written in plain English, checked before it is published, and revisited whenever fares, timetables, or airport facilities change.

How We Keep Our Information Accurate

Transport routes, fares, and airport details change often, so we review our pages regularly and show a "last updated" date on each one. Our information is cross-checked against primary sources, including the official Thessaloniki Airport website (skg-airport.gr), the local public transport authority OSETH for bus routes and fares, and Hellenic Train for rail services. Where prices or schedules can change, we say so clearly and point you to the official source before you travel. We would always rather tell you to confirm a detail than present a number as final when it may have moved.

Who Runs This Site

This portal is published by KG GLOBAL LIMITED (registration number HE 399323), a company based in Larnaca, Cyprus. It is an independent, non-official resource: we are not operated by, nor affiliated with, Fraport Greece or the official airport authority. Any bookings or payments are handled by our trusted third-party partners, not directly by us, and we clearly label those partner tools where they appear.
