Alexander the Great Airport in Kavala lies on the plain of the Nestos delta, east of the city, and is the most convenient airport for the island of Thassos, reached by ferry from Keramoti, a few kilometres from the terminal. It has flights to Athens and, in summer, charter links from several European countries.

Practical tips
- Documents: EU citizens only need a valid identity card or passport.
- Islands in summer: island airports are small and very crowded on peak days; arrive well ahead of your return flight.
- Domestic flights: Aegean, Olympic and Sky Express link Athens and Thessaloniki with dozens of islands; alternatively there are the ferries.
- Taxis: ask the price before getting in or check that the meter is running; on the islands it is best to book.
