How to get to Thasos Island

Thasos does not have its own airport but it is covered by two international airports near the ports of Keramoti and Kavala. Both airports are connected to the ferry ports of Keramoti and Kavala by an excellent highway network. Kavala International Airport “Alexander the Great” (KVA) airport in Chrysoupoli is 30km east of Kavala. There are also flights from all the major European cities, several times a week. The airport is 18 km from Keramoti, which has ferryboats that will take you to the island’s capital in 30 minutes. Thessaloniki International airport “Macedonia” (SKG) is larger airport which requires 2 hours drive to reach the ferry port in Keramoti. You will find many more flight options available for this large international airport.

After you decide at which airport to arrive you’ll need to consider how to get to ferry port. There are three options for you to choose whether to rent a car, hire a taxi or take a bus. We suggest you rent a car. Car rental prices in Greece are affordable for medium budget travelers. There are many rental companies both at airports, ferry ports or Thasos island itself. We recommend booking a car to ensure a smooth journey.

Thasos island is located near the town of Kavala from where you can take the ferry that travels 1.5 hours to the port of Limenas on Thasos island. The shorter route is by ferry from the smaller but busy port of Keramoti near the city of Kavala where ferries run every 10-15 minutes. It takes about 30 minutes from the port of Keramoti to Limenas on Thassos. Ticket from Keramoti to Limenas cost 3.5 euros per person. Car ticket can vary from 16 to 20 euros.

The trip is very pleasant, while the ship sails throughout the companion of a seagull flying in the very close distance.
