During the summer season, passengers can fly daily: on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, flights depart from Warsaw at 2:10 p.m., and on the remaining days – Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays – at 9:40 a.m. Return flights from Thessaloniki depart at 6:25 p.m. and 1:55 p.m., respectively. In winter, the route will be operated four times a week – on Mondays and Thursdays at 2:10 p.m. and on Wednesdays and Sundays at 9:45 a.m. The carrier’s aircraft will depart back for Warsaw at 6:25 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. With this connection, not only does LOT offer more convenient travel to one of Greece’s most picturesque destinations, but it also makes your dream vacation or short city break just a stone’s throw away – all year round.
Thessaloniki-Macedonia Airport is Greece’s second largest airport in terms of passenger traffic. It is located approximately 13 km southeast of the city centre, near the town of Thermi. It offers regular flights to numerous European cities, such as Warsaw, Berlin, London, Milan, and Paris, as well as domestic flights to Athens, Crete, Rhodes, and other Greek islands.
“A new direct flight from Warsaw to Thessaloniki is a real opportunity to boost tourist traffic and investment, as well as to establish new areas of cooperation between Greece and Poland. For Thessaloniki, this means easier access to the dynamically developing market of Central and Eastern Europe, and for Warsaw, it opens the door to one of the most fascinating Mediterranean cities. On top of that, with convenient transfers at Warsaw Chopin Airport, passengers from Greece can now fly to loads of destinations in LOT Polish Airlines’ extensive network, including North America and Asia. We expect that this destination will foster academic and business cooperation, as well as enable Polish tourists to better discover Greece’s multicultural identity: its cuisine, heritage, and seaside lifestyle”, said Robert Ludera, Proxy and Director of Network Department at LOT Polish Airlines.
Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city, boasts a 2,300-year history and a fascinating, multi-layered identity. A former metropolis of Byzantium, it has been home to Greeks, Sephardic Jews, Armenians, Turks, and Slavs for centuries – cultures that have left a lasting mark on the fabric of the city. While strolling through Thessaloniki, you can admire Byzantine churches listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Roman forums, Ottoman baths, and former synagogues – all intertwined in a space that connects the past with everyday life. Over 5 kilometre-long seaside promenade with the city’s landmark, the White Tower, is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the view of the Aegean Sea.
