You’ll be met right after baggage claim at Thessaloniki Airport by a friendly local driver who’ll help with your bags and drive you directly to Sani Resort in comfort. Enjoy air-conditioning, working Wi-Fi, bottled water, and easy conversation (or quiet) on your private transfer—little details that make arrival feel smooth and welcoming.
The first thing I noticed was the hum of air-conditioning as we stepped out of baggage claim — honestly, after the sticky flight, it felt like a small miracle. Our driver was there right away, holding up my name (I always get nervous about that part for some reason), and he smiled when I tried to say “kalimera.” He replied in perfect English and took my suitcase before I could even fumble with the handle. The taxi queue looked long and restless behind us, but we just walked straight out to a shiny black car waiting by the curb.
I didn’t expect the drive from Thessaloniki airport to Sani Resort to feel so easy. It’s about 45 minutes — enough time for the city noise to fade into olive groves and that dry, sun-baked smell you only get in northern Greece. The driver pointed out a couple of villages along the way (I wish I remembered their names) and told us where locals go for seafood on weekends. At one point he asked if we wanted music or silence — I picked silence just to watch the light flicker over the fields. There was cold bottled water in the cupholder; little things like that make a difference when you’re tired.
We chatted a bit about Greek summers and how busy Sani gets in August. He had this calm way of driving — not rushed, not slow either — and answered all my questions about Halkidiki without sounding rehearsed. When I asked about his favorite beach, he grinned and said it depends on who’s asking (I guess everyone wants a different answer). The Wi-Fi actually worked too, which made it easier to text home and let them know we’d landed safe.
By the time we pulled up at Sani Resort, I felt more relaxed than I usually do after airports. There wasn’t any fuss with luggage or paperwork; just a quick thank you and we were off into holiday mode. Sometimes it’s these quiet transitions — not dramatic or flashy — that set the tone for everything else.
