How do we get from Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) to Kallithea?

There are a few simple options for getting from SKG to Kallithea:

£ – Shared Shuttle (HolidayTaxis / similar)
Affordable shared transfers, departing from outside the Arrivals Hall (Terminal 1). Good value for solo travellers or couples.

££ – Private Transfer / Taxi
You can pre-book a private transfer, take a taxi from the airport rank, or use the transfer arranged as part of a package holiday. Journey time is usually 45–60 minutes.

£££ – Hire Car
Car hire is available at the airport through all major brands and comparison sites. A good option if you’d like flexibility during your stay.

Group airport transfer – 15 and 22 June 2027

A number of guests are expected to be travelling on the same flights, arriving at Thessaloniki Airport on Tuesday 15 June and returning on Tuesday 22 June.

We are therefore looking into arranging a private coach between Thessaloniki Airport and Kallithea for the group. This could provide a simpler and potentially more cost-effective option than guests arranging individual taxis, private transfers or hire cars when everyone is travelling to the same place at a similar time.

We are currently gathering a quote and will share further details, including timings and the estimated cost per person, once these are available.

If you are travelling on these dates and would be interested in using the coach, please let us know.

Is the wedding on the beach?

Yes — the ceremony will take place on the beach itself, so expect sunshine, sand and finally a beach party atmosphere. Feel free to bring sunglasses, a hat. a fan or anything that helps you stay comfortable.

The ceremony is the only part of the day where you’ll be on the sand. After that, we’ll move into the covered but open-air restaurant area for the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations, so you won’t be on the beach all day.

How do we get to Agora Beach?

There is a local taxi rank in the centre of Kallithea, about a 4-minute walk from Ellin Hotel (look out for Giro-Giro and Blu Bar — both are nearby landmarks). Taxis can also be booked directly through the hotel reception. The drive to Agora Beach takes under 10 minutes and typically costs around €10. Local taxi numbers will be added closer to the time.

Can we bring pushchairs/prams?

There is a fairly steep descent to get down to Agora Beach, so please keep this in mind if you’re bringing a pushchair. The beach bar and restaurant area itself is flat and accessible once you reach it, and pushchairs can be used around the top floor without issue.

What’s the weather like in June?

It can be hot. Expect temperatures around ~25°C, with plenty of sunshine throughout the day. Suncream definitely recommended.

Will there be Greek dancing?

To call it Greek dancing will probably be an insult to our hosts.… however, it depends how many cocktails are involved.

Will James cry?

Almost definitely.

What time should we arrive / does the party finish?

Final wedding timings will be confirmed shortly.
