Taxis are no good either...
You can walk in down town Thessaloniki and cover most areas of interest on foot! Leave a Comment

After repetitive questions in the forums, i thought this should be a tip of its own..
Bus No 78 operates between the airport and the bus (KTEL) station, and it stops at the train station as well. You will need to cross the whole city from south-east to north -west and depending on the time and the day the ride should take between 40mins to an hour. The buses leave every half hour. You can check the bus timetables at www.oasth.gr
my opinion is to use bus78, instead of a taxi, it will take a bit extra time (but not that much), and it will be so much cheaper.the bus ticket costs 50cents prepaid and 60 on the bus, while the taxi will cost you something between 20-40 euros (i only assume, i have never taken this ride on a taxi). Plus, i tend not to trust greek taxi drivers with foreign travelers. I'm sure it's a minority that has given the profession a bad name, but there are a lot of incidents of rip-offs.

Re- busses in Thes. I had to chuckle. Arrived in Thes last night out of Munchen and took the city bus into town (or part way). Started out fine but in not too long things slowed down considerably. It was very hot inside (November and cold stormy weather outside) and standing room only with a pack (no big deal though). Eventually going so slow that I figured by using the tourist street map and watching the street signs - (but most telling, observing for 20 minutes the unhurried guy walking same direction beside us keeping up and sometimes getting ahead)- that it would be quicker to bail and walk. So myself and a stranger that was a co-founder on board of the whiney overheated passengers club (we struck up a conversation) did just that and left that bus in the dust. All that said I'm at the Hotel Pella and would like to say that its a nice place with very nice staff, clean rooms and a nice breakfast layed out down stairs. I think its about as cheap and reasonable as a hotel will get here unless you go stay at the hostel which I'm told is a flea bag. Thats a shame for me as I like hostels. Thes has a some nice ancient/oldy/claudius slept here kinda sites and the Byzintine (I'm a spelling tard) museum was pretty cool and very well layed out. However Thes really seems to be more of a jumping off place for more interesting out of the way places. Ok, thats it. Hope its help to someone. Bolzee. Theme: Bus

 O.A.S.Th. is the local bus
service of Thessaloniki by StefanosS
http://www.oasth.gr/routes/route_bl.php?routeb=78bs.jpg
The start-terminal at the bottom is the airport, the end-terminal at the top is the KTEL Bus Terminal. KTEL is the common name for long-distance bus services in Greece. The last bus-stop on the map before the KTEL Terminal is the Railway Station. Leave a Comment

The Thessaloniki Urban Transportation Organization recently announced the launch of the new Cultural Line No 50 of 1.9.2009.
It is a route to the "history of our city, with stops at many monuments that mark the long history from antiquity to the present.
The attitudes of the cultural line fitted special labeling, as well as printed in rolls with the map of the route and points of interest.
They give for free a brochure in Greek and English, available to each passenger, which contains a map of the central region Thessaloniki with the bus route and points of interest to passengers. They were given information about the monuments and other points of interest and place their approach at each stop.
For best information to passengers of the cultural line inside the bus where 2 screens displayed by computer, presenting the Greek (and soon in English) with its monuments and other points of interest which will pass the bus during the route.
Also syggested to the passengers 3 hiking trails, as users of cultural routes are allowed, on the same ticket, valid for 24 hours to disembark at any stop of the journey and after completing their tour, to continue with the next route.
There is a bus attendant, who isavailable to passengers for any further information.
Beginning and end of the cultural line is the White Tower (LEFKOS PIRGOS)
