Transportation
to Thassos
By
plane: The island has no airport, but is served by the
International Airport of Kavala. Athens-Kavala: Several scheduled
flights daily (50-min flight). The airport 'Alexander the Great'
at Chrissoupoli is 30 km east of Kavala. There also are flights
and charters to and from important European cities, several times
a week. The airport is 18 km from Keramoti, which has ferryboats
that will get you to the capital of the island (35-min).
|
If
traveling by plane (independent travel), the least expensive way way is
to fly to Thessaloniki on a direct flight and then take a bus, or either
rent a car at the airport or take a taxi to go on to Keromoti to catch
a ferry
to
Thassos.
The drive time is about two and one half hours. Renting a car for the trip
to Keromoti is the least expensive. When you check for rental cars, be
sure
to get a quote from Potos
Car Rental which
has an office at the airport and offers discounts to the Thassos Traveler.
By
car: There are excellent road connections with all the large
towns in the region. It takes about 2 hours (165kms) to reach Kavala by
car from Thessaloniki. It also takes about the same amount of time from
here to the last European City to the east, Alexandroupolis (174kms).
From Kavala and Keramoti, you are able to take the Ferry to Thassos.
By
bus (Coach): You can reach Kavala from Athens and Thessaloniki
by Kavala Bus (Coach) Services (KTEL).
If you are flying into Thessaloniki Airport, you will need to take a
taxi from the airport to the bus station in Thessaloniki where you can
catch a bus to Kavala. The cost of one (one way) ticket is about 15 Euros and the
buses depart the station every hour from 06:00 til 20:00 everyday.
When
you arrive in Kavala will have to do one of the following:
Depending
on the time you arrive in Kavala, you have three options available
to you.
1. You may find a flying dolphin that will take you either
to Limenas (Thassos Town) or Skala Prinos. The port for these is
only about 3 city blocks from the bus station. The cost depends on
which
dolphin is available and will be 10 Euros or more.
2. On the other side of the port from the dolphins are the regular ferries that run between Kavala and Skala Prinos. The cost will be about 3.50 Euros.
Remember there are less ferries running between Kavala and Thassos, so try to know what the schedule is before you arrive.

3.
You can take another bus (about 3.50 Euro) to Hrissoupoli (Chrisoupolis),
where you will have to take one more bus to Keromoti. This bus from
Hrissoupoli (Chrisoupolis) to Keromoti will cost about 1,30 Euro and
they leave the bus station every hour (last bus at 20:00). The bus
to Keromoti should take you right by the ferry port.
Generally
speaking, most all buses stop running about 20:00.
Ferryboat: Ferryboats
connect the island with Kavala (1 hour hr and 15 min.) and with Keramoti
(35 min). There is daily connection by ferryboat between
Kavala – Thassos (17 m). Kavala – Prinos (13 m.) Keramoti
- Thassos (6 m.). Hydrofoils connect the island with Kavala (40 min). By
train: You can see the Hellenic railways to travel to Drama.
The trip takes 9.5 hours from Athens. You can also use the train to come
from Thessaloniki, but it costs more than the bus and takes almost 1.5
hours longer. For more information call +3015240647 (Athens office), and
+3031517517 (Thessaloniki office)
You arrive in Drama and take the bus (Coach) to Kavala, which departures
every half hour.
By
ship: Coastal lines connect Kavala and the North Aegean
islands throughout the year while in the summer months Kavala is
connected with
many of the islands in the Aegean Sea.
On
the Island: There are Daily buses via Panagia and Prinos that
serve all the coastal villages. The 100-kilometer long road network is
in good condition. Cars and motorbikes are available for hire on the island.
