Cheap flights from Warsaw to Kavala

January is when fares on this route tend to sit at their lowest, and the price calendar shows it next to September, October, December, May and July. Summer is the busy stretch: July and the weeks around it fill up first, and seats thin out the longer you wait. Spring and autumn are the comfortable middle, warm on the Greek side and calm on the Polish side. Weekday departures are easier to find than weekend ones, especially around Polish school breaks and the Greek holiday season. Book well ahead for summer travel; for a winter trip, waiting a little longer rarely costs you.

Several carriers sell this route, and they do not work the same way. Wizz Air and Eurowings are the low-cost options, where the fare covers a seat and a small bag and everything else is added on. Smartwings Poland flies it as a holiday-oriented service, often sold with a package. Aegean Airlines, Austrian, Swiss, Helvetic Airways, Air Baltic, LOT Polish Airlines and Turkish Airlines are full-service, with a checked bag and food included, and Turkish Airlines usually means a stop in Istanbul rather than a nonstop. Direct flights exist but are seasonal, so a connecting itinerary is often the only option outside summer.

Kavala has one airport, Megas Alexandros, and it sits outside the city rather than at its edge, so the transfer is part of your plan. Taxis and rental cars are the straightforward options, and seasonal buses meet some flights; outside the summer timetable service thins out and a pre-booked transfer is the safer bet. If you are arriving without a car, aim to land before dark. The airport handles a lot of charter traffic in summer, so passport control can queue when several flights land together.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm which Warsaw airport you are flying from, since F. Chopin and Modlin sit on opposite sides of the city.
• Check the baggage allowance on a low-cost fare before you add a cabin bag at the airport.
• If your itinerary connects, make sure both legs are on one ticket so a delay is the airline's problem, not yours.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Greece and check the entry rules that apply to you.
• Book early for July and the summer weeks, and look at January if your dates are flexible.
• Match your arrival time to the transfer you have arranged, especially if you land late.
