The airport that you will be flying into is Thessaloniki Airport (SKG)
If you plan to attend all 3 events, we recommend flying out on:
•August 15th or 16th if you are traveling from the US
•August 17th if traveling within Europe
There are only direct flights from Europe to Thessaloniki. If you are flying from the US, you will have a layover. We recommend having a layover in Athens or Istanbul. If you plan to fly to Athens or Istanbul, you will need to book another 45 minutes flight from Athens or Istanbul to Thessaloniki. We highly recommend renting a car from the Thessaloniki Airport and if you need help with transportation, we can help arrange.
Please contact amandakostaswedding@gmail.com for help with booking your flights + car rentals. Our travel agent will gladly assist with your booking.
Car Rental
We highly recommend renting a car once you land at the Thessaloniki Airport.
And of course, you can check Expedia, Kayak, or any providers that you normally use. There are plenty of car options right now but please book in advance as August is high season in Greece.
Shuttles + Taxis
Car Transfers from Airport to Hotel & Around Halkidiki
Also, the hotel can help arrange taxis and shuttles.
*We will provide a shuttle on August 20th for the day of the wedding from Cora Hotel & Spa. Details will be provided by Amanda.
