Known to be among the most beautiful seaside cities of Greece, Kavala attracts tourists with its beautiful beaches and places of entertainment. Those who want to travel to this city fly to Megas Alexandros Apt Airport.
The airport is located about 30 kilometers east of the city. The town, called Chrysoupolis, is very close to the airport.

For this reason, you can take the advantage of taking a taxi, renting a car or private shuttle services provided by your hotel.
You can also prefer to benefit from the buses providing transportation between the airport and the city center. It is very difficult to catch the express bus lines that depart twice a day on weekdays at 06:15 and 18:15 and on Saturdays at 07:10 and 19:15; on Sundays and holidays the express bus line only serves at 19:15. Express buses reach the city center in about half an hour. The buses following the long route do not have regular departure times.
You can also benefit from the shuttle services provided by the hotels or some private shuttle companies. You are advised to get information about the shuttle service before deciding on the hotel you are going to stay.
