Kavala International Airport, Alexander the Great (KVA) is connected to the city centre by two transportation means, Taxi and Bus. The most agreeable and safe option is without doubt a Kavala airport taxi. Despite the fact that it may be a rather expensive choice (set price at 38€), the taxi ride from the airport to the city centre takes only 35 minutes and the services provided are door-to-door. On the other hand, the bus is a much cheaper alternative as the bus ticket costs only 5€ per person while the journey to Kavala downtown takes about 40 minutes. However, the bus timetable is fairly confusing and although theoretically, there is always a bus at the airport when a flight is scheduled to land, in case you miss it, you may have to wait up to 14 hours for the next route.
