How to Reach Santorini Island
Are you flying to Santorini Island Greece?
If you have decided to fly to Santorini from abroad there are charter companies offering direct flights from various European airports, on a regular basis especially during peak season. However, most of the times you will have to fly to Athens go on with your trip to Santorini on one of the domestic flights. The airport of Santorini is located on the east side of the island at the area of Monolithos about 9 km from Fira, so you might want to consider booking a trustworthy car rental to drive around the island in comfort.
Flight from Athens to Santorini: approximately 30-minute trip
Are you sailing to Santorini Island?
Another option to reach Santorini would be to fly to Athens and then take the ferry or high-speed boat from Piraeus or Rafina Port. You can also travel to Santorini Island from Thessaloniki port. In both cases the trip is rather long and the journey depends on the type of vessel you are travelling in. Ferries dock at Athinios Port which is about 10 km from the capital town of Fira, making a car rental the ideal choice for enjoyable transfers.
