Connection to the City Centre in Thessaloniki
The Central Intercity KTEL Bus Terminal "Makedonia" lies in the westside at Giannitson st 194.
The train station is downtown Monastiriou st 28
The airport is 15 km to the south. Bus number 78 is a 24x7 service which shuttles between all these points via the city centre, so it is the ideal way of getting in no matter how you arrive. Frequency is between 15 min and 30 min during the day. At night, the bus number changes to 78N and runs every 30 min (00 and 30 minutes past the hour from KTEL Bus Terminal, 20 and 50 min past the hour from the Airport).
Attention the bus number 79 from the airport does NOT get you to the city centre but to A.S. IKEA bus terminal in the city's eastside.
A ticket costs €0.80 (see Get around: By bus). It's about a 40 min ride from the airport to the city-centre.
Note there is no map or tourist information at the bus station. If you don't know your way about, just get on a 78 (destination "aerodromio") and get off at the White Tower.
Tourist information office is at Tsimiski st 136, a few minutes from the White Tower. Open M-F 8AM-8PM, Sa 8:30AM-2PM, Sun closed. If you find it closed, walk up to Aristotelous and buy a map from Iannos bookshop. You can also visit [m.oasth.gr]
A taxi ride from the city center costs about €15-20. It's hard to find one during peak hours (7AM-8AM, 2PM-4PM and 7PM-9PM), so plan early.
