A flight is the fastest and most popular way for tourists to travel from Thessaloniki to Athens. Sky Express and Aegean Airways operate on this route. Both offer affordable tickets. However, as with every flight, book as early as possible for the best fares.

### Ferry from Thesonolki to Athens
A ferry is the most scenic way to transfer from Thessonolki to Athens. With the wind blowing through your hair, you'll watch the rugged coastline fall gently into the baby-flow waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Unfortunately, this is also one of the most expensive and has the most extensive duration. After booking a ticket from Thessaloniki Port to Piraeus Port, you could lose an entire day of exploring the city, which is something to consider if you're short on time.
Lowest/average price: €74-€103

### Daytrip from Thessaloniki to Athens
Daytrip is by far the most comfortable and convenient way to travel from Thessaloniki to Athens. You won't endure the headache of organizing taxis to the airport or setting a dreadful 7:00 AM alarm to ensure you catch your mode of transportation. With our door-to-door service, you decide where and when to be collected, and your professional driver will manage any bags you may have.
Unless you opt for an indirect train, this is the only way to explore the fascinating sights en route. If you're a nature enthusiast, don't overlook the jaw-dropping
Meteora rock formations. If you're a history buff, you won't want to miss out on the Battle of the Thermopylae Museum, where Sparta helped fend off the Persian army.
