From the city to the beaches of Kassandra and Sithonia in around an hour and a half to two hours, depending on the resort. South-east past the airport, down the road to Nea Moudania where the peninsulas begin, then on to your village — a private car from your Thessaloniki hotel or address to the door of your hotel in Halkidiki.
Halkidiki is a region, not a single town, so the drive depends on where you are staying: about 1h 40m to the main resorts of Kassandra and Sithonia, less to Nea Moudania, more to the far side of Sithonia. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — tell us your pickup in Thessaloniki, the name of your resort and hotel, and any stop you would like on the way.
Pickup anywhere in Thessaloniki. The route leaves the city to the south-east, passes Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) and joins the road to Nea Moudania.
The cave lies west of the Nea Moudania road, a detour of about 21 minutes of driving. Add time for the visit itself and mention it in your request.
The gateway town where the two peninsulas begin, about 62 km and an hour from central Thessaloniki. Here the road divides: south over the Potidea canal into Kassandra, or east via Nikiti into Sithonia.
The canal at Nea Potidea marks the neck of Kassandra and lies on the road to its resorts. A short stop adds about 8 minutes of driving on the way to Chaniotis or Pefkochori.
Drop-off at your hotel, villa or apartment. Send the resort and the exact address with your request — Chaniotis, Pefkochori, Nikiti and Neos Marmaras are all different drives.
Per vehicle, not per person. Every quote includes tolls, fuel, assistance with loading and unloading luggage, and child seats available on request.

Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) is on the south-east side of the city, the side facing Halkidiki, so the road from the airport is about 10 km shorter than from the centre. From SKG it is roughly 52 km and 47 minutes to Nea Moudania, 88 km and 1h 25m to Nikiti, 93 km and 1h 25m to Chaniotis, 96 km and 1h 30m to Pefkochori and 108 km and 1h 50m to Neos Marmaras. Mention the airport pickup and your flight number in your request. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting.
