Thessaloniki by car: what to know
Thessaloniki is Greece's second city and a good base for northern Greece: the beaches of Halkidiki, Mount Olympus and the royal tombs of Vergina are all within a day trip. The centre is compact and easy to walk, so the car earns its keep outside the city.
Picking up the car
Thessaloniki Airport "Makedonia" (SKG) lies about 15 km south-east of the city centre, roughly 20–30 minutes by car depending on traffic. Planet Cars also hands over cars at IKEA Thessaloniki on the eastern side of the city, which is convenient if you are staying in the eastern districts.
Day trips
Halkidiki begins about an hour's drive south-east: Kassandra is the nearer peninsula, Sithonia lies further on. Mount Olympus and the village of Litochoro are about an hour south-west by motorway, and the royal tombs of Vergina (ancient Aigai) are a similar distance west. Pella, birthplace of Alexander the Great, is around 40 km away, on the road to the waterfalls of Edessa.
Roads and parking
The A1 motorway towards Athens and the Egnatia Odos (A2) have toll stations, so keep cash or a card at hand. In the centre, traffic is heavy at rush hour and street parking is scarce: use a paid car park or leave the car at your hotel and explore the waterfront and the old town on foot. On summer weekends the roads to Halkidiki get busy, so set off early.
