Local planning for your Thessaloniki group
Airport and KTEL Makedonia are different stops
Thessaloniki Airport lists its 1X/1N public-bus connection with the city centre, new railway station and KTEL Makedonia main bus terminal. These are distinct places along a scheduled route. A group arriving on an intercity coach at KTEL needs that terminal named in the private collection brief; an airport arrival needs the flight and agreed airport boarding instructions instead.
Give the HELEXPO hall and event entrance
HELEXPO publishes the exhibition and conference centre address at Egnatia 154 and provides separate information for its exhibition spaces and congress centres. Send the event's specific hall or building and entrance, as well as the registration time. The general street address is a useful reference, but the organiser must confirm where a private group vehicle can unload and wait for that event.
Coordinate hotels before an exhibition departure
For delegates spread across hotels, list each street address and the passengers boarding there. Allow for any luggage that needs to travel after the event, rather than sizing the vehicle from seats alone. If a flight or intercity departure follows the conference, provide its check-in requirement and ask the operator to assess the sequence. Keep the evening return meeting separate from exhibitor loading or delivery instructions.
Prepare your Thessaloniki journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (SKG) or Kozani National Airport Filippos (KZI), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Thessaloniki hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- An airport arrival with several stops: If your flight is booked at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (SKG), use Katerini arrival planning and Serres arrival planning for the separate hotel or venue addresses. Say whether the enquiry covers one continuous itinerary or individual local transfers, with passengers and bags for each leg.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.

Planning your Thessaloniki journey
What is the distance between SKG and Thessaloniki?
The airport and destination map references are approximately 14 km apart in a straight line. A road journey can differ substantially. Provide the actual address in Thessaloniki; the map distance is not a promise of transfer time or fare.

The meeting arrangement for Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (SKG) must be confirmed with the booking. Do not assume a coach can collect at any terminal door. Give the flight and terminal details, and keep the lead passenger contact available for the agreed collection instructions.
Can we continue from Thessaloniki to Katerini?
Include the next stop in Katerini and its address in the initial brief. State whether it is a short visit, an overnight stay or the final destination; those are different vehicle and driver requirements.

From the Thessaloniki geographic reference, Katerini is approximately 55.0 km away in a straight line and Serres is 71.4 km away.
