13 km southeast of Thessaloniki, you’re already in Thermi
Thessaloniki Airport sits in Thermi, and Private Off-Airport Parking Thermi taps into that. You drive out of the city along the 13 km route toward the airport, pull into a local lot near Thermi instead of the official airport car parks, and then head on to Terminal 1 or 2 by road. It’s off-site in name, but you’re basically parking in the same district as the runways.
This is an off-airport option, not owned by SKG, so expect separate pricing from the terminal 1 and 2 on-site lots, but plan to check current daily rates online or by phone since no fixed tariffs surfaced in recent data. Because the airport and the village share the same area, transfer time from Thermi parking to the terminal should be short in distance, but still build in extra minutes during weekday morning peaks into SKG.
No firm shuttle timetable, security setup, or opening hours came through in the research, so treat Private Off-Airport Parking Thermi like a local operator: confirm operating hours for your exact flight time, ask how keys are handled, and pin the lot location in your maps app before you leave Thessaloniki’s center. The airport’s layout is simple, with just Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, so your main variable is the ride from the lot, not finding the right building.
Practical tip: driving from downtown, time your arrival at the Thermi lot for at least 2 hours before a Schengen departure from Terminal 1 or 2, and closer to 3 hours for non-Schengen, so you’ve got slack for the local transfer plus SKG’s security queues.
