How to get there

The venue is near the center of the city, the address is Napoleontos Zerva 10: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4246698177

Bus connection to the venue: From the center, bus lines 7, 10, 11 (and 11B), 31, 33, 39 (and 39A). The bus stop is a couple of minutes on foot: http://oasth.gr/#en/stopinfo/screen/1124/ or http://oasth.gr/#en/stopinfo/screen/1166/

From the airport, bus line 01X (2€ fee). You get off at Dimarchiako Megaro MEGARO(ΔΗΜΑΡΧΙΑΚΟ ΜΕΓΑΡΟ). Go back for about 150m, turn left on Napoleontos Zerva, and walk about 150m.

Flying to Thessaloniki airport (SKG)

From the airport, you can take bus number 01X (01N between 22:00 and 6:00) that takes you to the other end of the city, passing through the center and with various stops on the way. The fee is 2€, you don't need to buy the ticket in advance, but have your coins ready (the ticket machines in the buses give no change).

A taxi from the airport to the center has a fixed price of 20€.

Transportation inside Thessaloniki

If you're staying at the center of the city, you can most likely walk to most places you'll need.

The only means of public transportation in the city is buses. You can get more information on Google maps (don't trust timetables there) or http://oasth.gr/en

Another nice option is rental bikes: http://www.thessbike.gr/en/ You register once using your passport and receive your bike card, which includes at least 5€ for bike rentals. There is a 2€ deposit that you get back once you return your card. The price is 1€ per hour. Bikes can be taken from one station and returned to another. A map of the stations is here: http://ibike.thessbike.gr/en/map-en

You'll notice the ubiquitous metro construction works, which are stalled as they keep discovering layer after layer of older versions of the city and at the same time running out of funds. As you can imagine, it's now a running gag among the locals.
