A Kavala Airport taxi to the city center has a fixed fare and takes around 30–35 minutes. Welcome Pickups transfers start from €49, and you pay online before you travel.

Kavala International Airport “Alexander the Great” (KVA) is actually near Chrysoupoli, around 30–34 km from Kavala, so it’s a decent drive into town. And because it’s a small regional airport, pre-booking can be useful for late arrivals when fewer taxis may be waiting at the rank.

How much does a Kavala Airport taxi cost?

A standard Kavala Airport taxi to central Kavala costs €40 from 05:00 to midnight and €55 from midnight to 05:00. That fixed fare only covers the official city-center zone. If you’re heading somewhere else, including Keramoti, the driver uses the meter instead.

For metered trips, the fare starts at €1.80, and the minimum fare is €4. Tariff 1 is €0.90 per kilometer within the local zone, while Tariff 2 is €1.25 per kilometer and applies outside that zone or between midnight and 05:00. A Kavala Airport taxi costs around €20–€27 to Keramoti and €50–€60 to Xanthi.

Fares include 13% VAT. Metered airport trips also have a €4 airport surcharge, each piece of luggage weighing more than 10 kg costs €0.39. You can pay by card, as taxis in Greece are required to accept card payments.

With Welcome Pickups, sedan fares start from €49 to Kavala city center, €32 to Keramoti, and €65 to Xanthi. You choose your destination and pay the full fixed price online when you book, so traffic or delays won’t change what you pay.

So if you’re going straight into central Kavala, the standard taxi fare is easy to know before you leave the airport. For anywhere outside that fixed-fare zone, the final price depends on the meter and any extra charges that apply. Welcome Pickups gives you the full price when you book instead.

What do you get when you book a Welcome Pickups taxi from Kavala Airport?

Your booking includes:

• Fixed price: You pay online before you travel, with no hidden fees.

Once you land

Where is the taxi rank at Kavala Airport?

You’ll find the Kavala Airport taxi rank directly outside the terminal, in front of arrivals. Just walk out through the arrivals exit and the official stand is right there.

At the rank, join the queue and take the next available taxi. Kavala taxis are usually orange or white, with a “TAXI” sign on the roof, so they’re easy to pick out from the other cars outside.

A standard taxi can take up to four passengers. If you’re traveling with four large suitcases as well, trunk space can be tight and will depend on the car waiting at the rank.

Taxis also serve late-night arrivals. Just bear in mind that the night tariff applies between midnight and 05:00, so fares are higher during those hours.

Can you book a transfer from Kavala Airport to Keramoti or other nearby destinations?

Yes, you can book a Welcome Pickups transfer from Kavala Airport to places around the region, including Keramoti Port, Xanthi, and Drama.

• Keramoti Port: Around 12 km from the airport, so you’re usually there in about 13–15 minutes. Welcome Pickups prices start from €32. If you’re going to Thassos, this is the stop you’ll want. And if you’ve got a ferry to catch, leave some extra time between landing and sailing in case your flight runs late.
• Xanthi: Roughly 39 km away, with a drive of around 35 minutes. Welcome Pickups prices start from €65. If your hotel is in the old town, the last part of the drive can take a little longer.
• Drama: About 67 km from Kavala Airport and 1 hour by car. Welcome Pickups prices start from €88. Summer traffic can add a bit of time on the main roads out of the airport.

Useful tips for taking a taxi from Kavala Airport

• Check access if you’re staying in Panagia. Kavala’s Old Town has steep, narrow streets, and taxis can’t reach every corner. Ask your accommodation where the nearest drop-off point is.
• Tipping isn’t compulsory. If you’re happy with your Kavala Airport taxi ride, just round up the fare or leave a small extra amount.
• Book an accessible taxi ahead of time if you need one. Adapted taxis are available in Kavala, but you’ll need to reserve one in advance.
• Keep your receipt until you’ve unpacked. It can help track down the taxi if you realize you’ve left something behind.
• Save a local taxi number for the return trip. It’s useful if you’ve got an early flight and don’t want to hunt around for a taxi that morning.
