Taxi and Transfers: how it works in Greece — first-hand
From real experience
how-toOnline ride-hailing services like Uber or Free Now are largely unavailable in rural Greece and smaller towns.
To arrange transportation: 1. Ask a local shopkeeper or tavern staff to call a taxi. 2. Most local service providers and taxi drivers prefer Viber or Facebook Messenger over WhatsApp. 3. Buses (KTEL) are the primary intercity transport; always check local schedules and bus terminal locations in advance, as they may differ from online mapping service defaults.

tipTaxis are readily available at Thessaloniki Airport.
Upon exiting the terminal, you will find a taxi stand with a waiting line. Payment is typically in cash. While ride-sharing apps like Freenow operate, taking a taxi directly from the airport queue is convenient and generally comparable in price. Hotel transfer services are an option but usually more expensive.
