How do you get from Thessaloniki airport into town?

Bus 01X, about 50 min, €2 airport ticket. A day ticket on local transport is 24h €2.50. Cheaper option: There is no express or rail link; the OASTH airport bus (lines 01X by day / 01N at night) to the city centre costs €2.00 on the special 'Airport Lines' ticket (standard €0.60 urban ticket not valid).

What does a day in Thessaloniki cost, not counting the flight?

About £40 a person for the day: local transport, lunch, dinner and a drink. Paid attractions are listed separately because most people do one or none, and an average that includes them is a number nobody actually pays.

Is the flight price on this page the one I will pay?
