Alexander the Great International Airport: where to stay, areas and…

The airport is near Chrysoupoli, about 30 km east of Kavala: there are no trains or scheduled buses to the city, so a taxi or a rental car is the only option for anyone not already heading to a resort in the Chrysoupoli area itself. For this group of travellers, the available options are mostly private flats in the old town and on the Kalamitsa seafront, not hotel chains.

Kavala - historic centre and Kalamitsa

Neighbourhood · No train or scheduled bus to the airport: the only option is a taxi or a rental car, about 30 km and 30-45 minutes on the main road towards Chrysoupoli.

Best for: Travellers based in the old town or on the Kalamitsa seafront, who accept a 30-45 minute transfer from the airport.

Pros

The historic centre (Panagia) and the harbour remain the reference point for ferries to Thasos and the nearby islands
Kalamitsa, a few minutes from the centre, has a blue-flag sandy beach

Cons

Without your own car, you depend entirely on taxis, even just for the trip from the airport
Most of the accommodation found is private flats, not traditional hotels: few on-site services
