Thessaloniki Airport Taxi & Transfer Prices 2026

Landing at Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) and wondering how much a taxi or transfer will actually cost? This guide compares real metered taxi rates with fixed private transfer prices for the most common destinations in 2026, so you can choose the option that fits your budget and travel style.

Metered taxi from Thessaloniki Airport

Airport taxis in Greece use a meter. The tariff starts at around €4–€5, then adds per-kilometer charges that vary by day/night and luggage. For short trips inside the city you can expect €25–€35. For Halkidiki the meter keeps running: Nea Moudania ~€55–€65, Sani ~€95–€110, Pefkochori ~€120–€140, and Ouranoupoli can exceed €180. Night rides (midnight–05:00) add a surcharge, and some drivers charge extra for luggage or waiting time.

Fixed private transfer prices from SKG

Private transfers quote a fixed price per vehicle, not per passenger. That means the total cost is locked before you travel, regardless of traffic or a late flight. A Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to 3 passengers starts at €60 for city routes and €80–€120 for Kassandra resorts. A Mercedes Vito or V-Class minivan for up to 7–8 passengers starts at €80 and covers most Halkidiki resorts for €100–€160. Minibus and coach options are priced per route on request.

What is included in the fixed price

The fixed price includes the driver, fuel, tolls, VAT, meet & greet at arrivals with a name sign, up to 60 minutes of free waiting time, and standard luggage. Child seats, folding wheelchairs and pet carriers are free on request. There are no surcharges for night, weekend or holiday transfers — the price you book is the price you pay.

Taxi vs transfer — which is better for you

Choose a metered airport taxi if you are traveling light to the city center and want to pay cash on the spot. Choose a fixed private transfer if you are heading to Halkidiki, traveling with family, have large luggage, arrive late at night, or simply want a guaranteed English-speaking driver waiting for you. Booking in advance removes all price uncertainty and guarantees a seat for every passenger.
