Airport Transportation in Volos

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Nea Anchialos National 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 Volos runs from Nea Anchialos National Airport to hotels and apartments in Volos and along its waterfront, to Volos port for ferries to the Sporades, and up to the Pelion villages of Portaria and Makrinitsa above the city.

Volos Airport Transfers

Our Volos airport transfers start just outside the arrivals exit of the small terminal, where your driver waits with a sign showing your name. With only a few seasonal flights, we track yours, so the pickup follows your real landing time.

Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Volos airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel or apartment in Volos, to the port, or to a guesthouse in Portaria or Makrinitsa. Taking a ferry on to Skiathos, Skopelos or Alonissos? We drive you to the port; give us your sailing time when you book. Staying in Tsagarada, Milies or another village farther into Pelion? 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.

Volos Airport Shuttle

Our Volos airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your hotel, guesthouse or the port, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases, hiking gear and strollers, so it suits families and groups heading to Volos or into the Pelion mountains.

Landing at Volos Airport

Nea Anchialos National Airport (VOL), also called Central Greece Airport, is the airport for Volos and the Pelion peninsula in Thessaly. It sits near the town of Nea Anchialos, southwest of Volos, beside the E75 motorway. It is a very small airport with a single terminal, open to civil flights since 1991.

All routes are seasonal: Eurowings to Düsseldorf, Ryanair to Charleroi (Brussels), Smartwings to Brno and Sky Express to Heraklion, with no scheduled flights to Athens or Thessaloniki. Flights from Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; if you come from outside the Schengen area, you go through passport control. With few flights, arrival 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.

Entry requirements and local notes

Schengen entry. Greece is in the Schengen area. 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. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Few flights. The airport has only a handful of seasonal flights and limited services, so arrange your ride before you fly.

Pelion village addresses. Many Pelion guesthouses and houses sit on steep lanes and stone paths, so give the guesthouse name, the village and a map pin; your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Euro and cash. Greece uses the euro; carry some cash for small purchases.
