Transportation to Airport from Manama City Center
Bahrain Intl. Airport
The main means of transport used in the city are buses and taxis. The buses are very economical and practical. It is possible to reach the airport with one or two bus transfers from the city center or from a further distance. Because of the two most important terminals (Muharraq and Manama terminals) there are buses departing directly to Bahrain Airport every 20 minutes. Apart from that, taxis, car rental services and minibuses are among the other transportation options.
Bus
Buses at the top of the main transportation vehicles in the city are public transportation vehicles which are very convenient for the budget and transportation. With Bahrain buses that are air-conditioned, spacious and comfortable, you can go directly or indirectly to everywhere you wish. Bus ticket prices usually start at 0.20 Bahrain Dinar. Manama bus station is located on Government Avenue.
The prices of Bahrain buses vary between 0.15-0.40 dinars on average. But most of the buses usually get 0.20 dinars for a single fare. The city has 23 different routes for buses with a total of 15 different lines. Buses that go directly to the airport depart from the stop that is about 200 meters west of Regency Intercontinental. For further information, you can call the Bahrain bus company (+973 17 534534).
Minibus
The use of minibuses in Bahrain is at least as popular as the buses. It is much more economical to get to the airport with the minibuses you can encounter in almost every corner of the city. Because the average ticket prices for these minibuses that are not connected to any business vary between 0.15-0.20 dinars. Sometimes even bargaining with drivers can be done. Minibuses with less capacity than buses can be crowded during heavy traffic hours.
Taxi
The fact that oil is cheap in the country does not, unfortunately, provide a discount on taxi fares. On the contrary, the fares are extremely expensive compared to many other cities and countries. So it's your benefit that you do not use the taxi unless you have to. In particular, Bahrain's locals prefer to use their own and not to spend unnecessary money on the taxis. The main taxi companies you can call from any point in the city are Speedy Motors (+973 17682999), Bahrain Limo (+973 17266266) and Arabian Taxi (+973 17461746). Taxis in the city are opening taximeters at a cheaper rate compared to airport taxis: 1 dinar.
Car Rental
The roads throughout Bahrain are asphalt and well maintained. At the same time, oil is so cheap that it offers a great advantage in terms of car rental companies. Because tourists who visit the country prefer not to waste their time on underdeveloped public transport, and prefer to widen their choices, they rent a car. Because of this, there are many offices of international and local car rental companies both in the city and at the airport.

Transportation to Kavala City Center from Airport
Kavala Intl. - Alexander The Great Airport
Known to be among the most beautiful seaside cities of Greece, Kavala attracts tourists with its beautiful beaches and places of entertainment. Those who want to travel to this city fly to Megas Alexandros Apt Airport.
The airport is located about 30 kilometers east of the city. The town, called Chrysoupolis, is very close to the airport. As there is no railway station near the city, it is also very difficult to reach the city center using public transportation. For this reason, you can take the advantage of taking a taxi, renting a car or private shuttle services provided by your hotel.
Bus
You can also prefer to benefit from the buses providing transportation between the airport and the city center. It is very difficult to catch the express bus lines that depart twice a day on weekdays at 06:15 and 18:15 and on Saturdays at 07:10 and 19:15; on Sundays and holidays the express bus line only serves at 19:15. Express buses reach the city center in about half an hour. The buses following the long route do not have regular departure times.
Shuttle Service
You can also benefit from the shuttle services provided by the hotels or some private shuttle companies. You are advised to get information about the shuttle service before deciding on the hotel you are going to stay.
Taxi
Finding a taxi at the airport is easier compared to finding a bus. Compared to European standards, taking a taxi in Kavala is much more affordable. Therefore, taking a taxi is one of the most convenient options you can prefer to reach the city center from the airport.
Rent a car
There are also available car rental companies at the airport. You can travel more practically and comfortably by the car you can rent from these companies. If you prefer, you can also reserve your rental car before your flight.
