Local Tips

  • Bus 78 connects SKG to central Thessaloniki (Aristotelous Square) in ~45 min.
  • Uber operates as Beat in Greece — at SKG, Beat typically undercuts the curbside taxi rank by 20-30% off-peak.
  • Taxi from SKG to central Thessaloniki is metered (a night/weekend surcharge runs higher).
  • Surge spikes during DETH (Thessaloniki International Fair, September).
  • Greek summer ferry days can spike rideshare demand at SKG — pre-book if connecting to/from a ferry.
