US citizens do not need a visa to be allowed into Thessaloniki since Greece is part of the Schengen Area where you can travel visa-free for up to 90 days in a 180-day period. This means that if you have been in any other country within the Schengen Area over the last 180 days, you will have to add up the number of days spent to determine how many visa-free days you have left. If they exceed 90 days, you will need to visit the embassy or consulate for further assistance.

The bus is five times cheaper than taking a taxi from SKG Airport to the city center. However, it is not as convenient and fast since there is a wait time of between 30 minutes to an hour at the airport station.

To board the bus, cross the road outside the arrivals gate and you’ll see the stop just a few meters after the taxi stand.
