The location of Santorini airport is on the southeastern side of the island, very close to the beaches of Agia Paraskevi and Monolithos. This airport was established in 1972 and the most recent renovation was completed in 2022. After this renovation everything works more smoothly and properly, especially for the travellers.
During the high season (May-September) the airport gets really busy, as not only are there domestic flights, but also straight flights from Europe. Some of the most common connections with European countries every summer are with UK, France, Italy, Germany and some other…
The bus station is located outside the departures building and is the only one at this airport. The buses’ timetable is also settled there, normally the bus comes every one hour from the central bus station in Fira and goes back there again. Therefore if you want to go somewhere else expect Fira, you will need to go there first and then buy another ticket and use another bus to reach your final destination.
Additionally something very important to know is that the bus runs from 06:00 am till 21:00pm and the time which is needed from Fira to the airport and vice versa is about 25 minutes. The cost for the ticket is about 2€.
Every local bus in Santorini is equipped with air-condition and has plenty of storage room, even for very big suitcases. Also, a good tip to know is that it would be better to inform the driver where you are going (especially if your destination is on the way before Fira) because the bus doesn’t stop always in every bus station.
The taxi station of the airport is located opposite the exit of the departures building. Usually there are some taxis waiting, but never enough to please everybody, so most of the times there is a queue of travellers waiting for the next available car to arrive.
The prices range from 30 to 50 euros depending on where you are going and the number of the passengers. It is recommended and better for you to make an agreement about the price before the ride, otherwise you have to pay whatever the driver asks you at the end of it, as there are no taximeters in Santorini taxis.
Furthermore, most of them do not accept payments by credit card, thus if you are planning to use this service, it would be wise for you to have cash in your wallet.
