Arrivals-side snacks and basics just past baggage claim in T1
Mini Market Arrivals sits landside in Terminal 1, a short walk from the main exit doors, so you can grab essentials before heading into Thessaloniki. It works well if you’ve just come off a late Aegean or Ryanair flight and the city shops are closed. Expect a straightforward setup: shelves of packaged snacks, drinks, and travel basics priced slightly above downtown supermarkets but normal for SKG.
The shop usually opens early morning and runs into late evening to cover the first and last wave of flights in Terminal 1. You’ll find bottled water, soft drinks, juices, and a small fridge with cold items, handy if you landed on a low-cost carrier with no free service. Coffee options lean on cans and bottled iced drinks rather than a bar-style espresso machine, so factor that in if you need caffeine right away.
Food-wise, think packaged pastries, chips, chocolate bars, and a few Greek-brand snacks instead of fresh sandwiches. Prices for standard candy bars and crisps hover around what you’d see airside in Terminal 1 departures, so don’t expect downtown bargains but nothing outrageous either. There’s usually a rack with last‑minute items like tissues, wet wipes, and basic toiletries, useful if your liquids bag got pulled at security elsewhere.
Because Mini Market Arrivals is landside, friends and family can also use it while waiting in the public arrivals area of SKG Terminal 1. It’s not huge, so choice is limited compared with a full supermarket, but it beats hunting for a kiosk after a long taxi ride into town. One tip: buy water here before you join the taxi or bus queue outside; prices jump once you’re on the road.
