Find Your Line
If you are traveling from the United States, or any non-E.U. nation, you may be directed to "E.U." lines for entry. Most travelers in Greece are from the E.U., so this is a natural mistake though it may cause some confusion. You want the "non-E.U." line. And if you're from the United States, you are not from a "Schengen" nation which you may also see as a line option.
Getting into Thessaloniki
There are plenty of taxis ready to whisk you into town in about 30 minutes, charging approximately 10 Euro for the ride. But single budget travelers will do better to wait for the 78 Bus, which costs less than a Euro and will get you into Thessaloniki in just under an hour. The bus schedule varies but it generally runs at least once an hour, and usually more often.
