Frequently asked questions and tips

What kind of clothes and shoes is needed to wear?

It is recommended to wear easy walking shoes because there are some specific areas where you may need to walk on uneven or rocky ground and comfortable clothes to feel relaxed and cooler especially during the summer months. Also if you are interested in visiting some religious monuments, please dress appropriately.

Useful tips:

During the summer time in Greece there are high temperatures and the sun is very hot. We recommend that you wear sunglasses, sunscreen and possibly a hat to protect yourself. In every one of our sightseeing rides we offer bottles of fresh water for every individual to stay cool and hydrated.

Absolutely outstanding service from this company. Our Ferry came in late within to the port and it was not a hassle at all.We were greeted by Elena and her driver who were extremely informative about the does and don'ts. Our driver was exceptional and made a journey from the port to our accommodation more than comfortable. Cannot highly recommend this company more if I tried. We will be booking with them again.

I used Cozypickups to airport pick up in Santorini and for airport drop off. Confirmation was quick and the dashboard was great. We had Jesse as a driver for both pick ups and he was early waiting for us both time and communicated with us through WhatsApp. He was so friendly, informative and his energy was amazing even at 6am in the morning! I would recommend this service as it gave me peace of mind and I hope all of your drivers are like Jesse because he was that made a difference. We used a different company for airport pickup in Athens and the driver experience was night and day!

In advance we had booked this cab, because of the good reviews, for a transfer to kamari. We arrived earlier than I had indicated, but the driver already called that he was ready when we walked into the hall and had to get the suitcases. Top notch arrangement!

I would highly recommend this taxi service! It's a great bonus that they are able to communicate via WhatsApp in English very well - this made booking trips super easy! They are a fair price, the same price or slightly cheaper than all other taxi services we used. Our driver, Jessy, was so awesome! Super friendly! I would chose Cozy Pickups over other taxis services on the island for sure - they were our favourite!

This is the perfect transport service while in Santorini both for airport transfers and getting around the island. Its so easy to contact them in English on whatsapp and the responses are super fast. They picked us up from many different places all over the island with little notice. Jesse, our driver most of the time was super friendly, informative and we had a blast hanging with him. The cars and vans are kept super clean and they're on time. In addition, they offer other boat tours, etc so a great one stop service while in Santorini that I can't say enough nice things about.

Magnificent service! At 6 am we were picked up at the airport and in 4 hours we did a complete tour of the whole island. Our guide Theo was very professional, he made the trip very enjoyable with his explanations. The tour was perfect, he took us to the best places to have the best photos and views of all the attractions of Santorini, being very friendly and always looking forward to give us the best service. We will definitely recommend this company to our friends when they come to Santorini and if we come back, we will repeat. Thank you very much for making it so easy for us!!!

Exceptional drivers and extremely friendly staff! I could not have asked for a better choice! The drivers were always on time and recommended us the best places to visit on the island. They were all very polite, respectful, and willing for a 24/7 pick-up. The cars were spacious and comfortable, the music was so calm and we enjoyed the rides all around the island! I highly recommend it!
