The airport is located about 30 kilometers east of the city. The town, called Chrysoupolis, is very close to the airport. As there is no railway station near the city, it is also very difficult to reach the city center using public transportation. For this reason, you can take the advantage of taking a taxi, renting a car or private shuttle services provided by your hotel.
You can also prefer to benefit from the buses providing transportation between the airport and the city center. It is very difficult to catch the express bus lines that depart twice a day on weekdays at 06:15 and 18:15 and on Saturdays at 07:10 and 19:15; on Sundays and holidays the express bus line only serves at 19:15. Express buses reach the city center in about half an hour. The buses following the long route do not have regular departure times.
You can also benefit from the shuttle services provided by the hotels or some private shuttle companies. You are advised to get information about the shuttle service before deciding on the hotel you are going to stay.
Finding a taxi at the airport is easier compared to finding a bus. Compared to European standards, taking a taxi in Kavala is much more affordable. Therefore, taking a taxi is one of the most convenient options you can prefer to reach the city center from the airport.
There are also available car rental companies at the airport. You can travel more practically and comfortably by the car you can rent from these companies. If you prefer, you can also reserve your rental car before your flight.
