Thassos island does not have an airport. Closest Airport is Kavala International Airport "Alexander the Great" (KVA).

How do I get from Kavala to Thassos Greece?

If you are flying to/from Kavala Airport, the transfer to Thassos is shorter, faster, and cheaper than from Thessaloniki Airport. However, the operating season at Kavala Airport is shorter: it usually runs from May to October with fewer flight options than Thessaloniki airport. Most are charter flights organized by big international tour operators. These operate from June to September. Please also note that Kavala airport is actually 30 kilometres away from Kavala city and the transfer time by car/taxi is 30 minutes.

The closest port to Thassos with the most frequent ferry operations is actually Keramoti port. If you wish to travel through Kavala city, please send us your request and we will make you an offer for a customized transfer.

The road from Kavala Airport to Keramoti port passes through a few traditional but pretty villages in the Chryssoupoli area. The economy of the whole area is dependent on agriculture and tourism. The highlight of the road trip is definitely the storks' nests on the top of the bell tower in the village of Agiasma. The storks arrive with the first charter flights every year and it is claimed that they depart with the last tourists in October!
