Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Alexandroupoli Airport (AXD) to Alexandroupoli city, its waterfront and the port for ferries to Samothrace, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Alexandroupoli Democritus Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Alexandroupoli takes you from Democritus Airport to hotels and apartments in the city center and along the waterfront by the lighthouse, and to the port for ferries to Samothrace.
Alexandroupoli airport transfers start outside the arrivals exit of the small terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign. All flights here are domestic, so there is no passport control, and we track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time. Choose a vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Alexandroupoli airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel or apartment in the city, or to the port. Taking a ferry on to Samothrace? We drive you to the port; give us your sailing time when you book. Going on to Komotini, the Evros Delta or Dadia Forest? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Alexandroupoli airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, with no stops for other passengers on the way into the city. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and hiking gear for Samothrace. It suits families, groups of friends and business travelers heading into Alexandroupoli together.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Alexandroupoli Democritus Airport (AXD), officially Alexandroupoli Airport "Dimokritos" and named after the ancient philosopher, is the airport for Alexandroupoli and the Evros region of Thrace, in northeastern Greece. It sits near the village of Apalos, east of the city, and is run by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority.
The airport has one small terminal and only domestic flights: Aegean Airlines flies to Athens and, in season, to Heraklion, and Sky Express flies to Athens and Sitia in eastern Crete. With no passport control, baggage reclaim is quick, and pre-booked drivers meet passengers outside the arrivals exit.
Greece is on Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and switches to UTC+3 for daylight saving time from late March to late October.
Schengen entry. Greece is in the Schengen area. All flights to Alexandroupoli are domestic, so travelers from outside the Schengen area clear passport control at their first Schengen airport, usually Athens. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.
Samothrace ferry. Ferries to Samothrace (Samothraki) leave from Alexandroupoli port. Check the ferry timetable before you fly and give us your sailing time when you book.
Euro and cash. Greece uses the euro; carry some cash for small purchases.
