  "connection_tips": "Kavala Alexander the Great International Airport (KVA) is a key aviation gateway situated in Chrysoupoli, approximately 30 kilometers east of the Kavala city center. Getting to and from the airport is well-organized, with several ground transportation modes catering to different budgets. For most travelers, the most economical option is the local KTEL intercity bus service, which provides a direct link between the terminal and the Kavala Central Bus Station. The bus schedule is generally timed to coincide with major domestic arrivals from Athens (ATH), taking about 40 to 50 minutes for the journey.\n\nTickets can be purchased directly from the driver using cash. Taxis are also readily available 24/7 at the designated rank outside the arrivals terminal; a typical ride to central Kavala costs approximately \u20ac40 during the day and \u20ac55 during the late-night hours (midnight to 5:00 AM). One of the most common reasons travelers use KVA is to reach Thassos Island; the airport is uniquely situated just a 15 to 20-minute taxi ride from the port of Keramoti, where frequent ferries depart for the island. For those wishing to explore the spectacular archaeological sites of the region, such as the ancient city of Philippi, independently, several major car rental agencies like Avis, Hertz, and Europcar maintain desks in the arrivals hall.\n\nThe terminal complex is modern and efficient, having undergone a major renovation in 2019, and features a Hellenic Duty Free Shop and several cafes. Arriving at least 2 hours before an international departure is strongly recommended during the peak summer months, as the airport handles a high volume of European charter traffic. Always carry some Euro (EUR) in cash for bus and taxi fares, though the retail and car rental services readily accept international credit cards.",
