Bearing in mind the lack of an airport in Kriopigi, you will land at Thessaloniki Airport, which was opened back in 1930. The The Thessaloniki Airport's website makes it convenient to see flight arrival schedules and learn about terminal facilities.
The airport accepts civil and cargo aircraft on international and domestic flights. It was given its modern name, Macedonia (before that it was called Thessaloniki Mikra Airport) in 1993. Located 15 kilometers from the city of Thessaloniki, the airport is the main air gateway for tourists who arrive in Greece on the peninsula of Halkidiki. There is only one passenger terminal, but with a high capacity (about 4 million people per year). After reconstruction in 2006, there are two runways, several waiting rooms (including a VIP-lounge at gate A3), the needs of people with disabilities are taken into account, there are escalators, parking lots and an information desk. There is a restaurant, several bars and cafes, stores, several ATMs, a pharmacy, a 24-hour medical aid station, a lost and found, a mother and child room. There are offices of several car rental companies in the building.
The main disadvantage mentioned by tourists is that the check-in is done first, and only then the baggage drop-off, which forces you to stand in line twice. Also note that the duty-free zone is before the passport control area and you should enter the store before going through passport control.
A map of the airport can be found at the information desk upon arrival, but we doubt you'll get lost here. At any rate, the staff in the arrivals area will definitely help you.
