It has everything for a wonderful holiday. It is easy to get to Alexandroupolis, because Democritus Airport is located within a short drive.

Today Democritus is the main airport of the Greek Northeast. It is located 7 km from Alexandroupolis. It was built in 1944 for military purposes and it has the status of international airport since 1955. A global reconstruction was carried out in 1970–75, as a result of which the traffic capacity increased significantly.

Transfer directly from the airport is very convenient. When ordering, you will immediately know the cost of the trip. It is calculated due to the distance to the destination. When making an order, you can choose a car. It also affects the cost of transportation. For example, a trip by an ordinary middle-class car to the city center will cost about 27-32 euros, by minibus - about 55 euros. You need at least 40 euros to get to the port. It`s no doubt that movement by an ordinary taxi loses its point in comparison with the transfer ordered in advance.
It will be rather problematic to take a taxi. At the very beginning you have to queue. Then explain to the taxi driver where you need to go. There may be some difficulties with this, since not all drivers know at least English. The car is most likely to be beat-around. If you need a child seat, it is unlikely to find an equipped car very quickly. The cost of the trip depends on the time of day and distance. All additional expenses will be paid by the passenger.
Transfer is much more convenient. Baby seats are provided free of charge. And there is an opportunity to choose the most suitable for your child. The driver is fluent in Russian. He will meet you, help you to carry and unload luggage, as well as to check in the hotel. When ordering, you can choose a car. Delayed flight does not affect the cost of the trip and our employees keep track of it.
