Gate-side last‑minute gear in Terminal 2
Right in Terminal 2 after security, Travel Store is the stop for all the small items you forgot to throw in your bag. You’ll see it along the main departures corridor serving Schengen and non‑Schengen gates, so you don’t need to backtrack far from most boarding areas. Think of it as the airport’s general store rather than a fashion boutique.
Opening hours usually track the first and last departures out of SKG Terminal 2, so early Ryanair and late Aegean flights still find it open on busy days. Stock skews to travel basics: neck pillows, power banks, charging cables, plug adapters, basic cosmetics, and a few toy and puzzle options to keep kids busy at the gate. Prices sit above downtown Thessaloniki, but still in normal European-airport territory.
Snacks and drinks lean heavily pre-packaged, with bottled water, soft drinks, and grab‑and‑go sweets at typical terminal‑2 kiosk pricing. You won’t build a full meal here, but you can patch a gap between the security line and whatever you pick up closer to your gate. If you realize your liquids bag is missing, they sell clear zip pouches and small‑size toiletries that pass the 100 ml rule.
Selection is functional rather than fancy, and staff focus on moving queues quickly when several flights from gates in Terminal 2 board close together. Don’t expect deep brand variety; do expect at least one workable option for most basics. If you need a cable or adapter for use on an Aegean or Ryanair seatback outlet, buy it here instead of gambling that the plane has USB-C.
Tip: Stop at Travel Store right after security in Terminal 2; it’s easier than realizing at gate level that your charger or headphones are still at home.
