Arriving and Getting Around Santorini

Santorini has an airport and a ferry port at Athinios. Fira is a useful transfer point, while the port road and caldera cliffs make onward travel more involved than map distance suggests.

Why go

Air and sea arrivals lead to different first steps. Ferries use Athinios, below a steep winding road; the airport lies nearer the island's eastern side. Fira connects trips toward settlements such as Oia and Kamari. Cruise calls may use the old port below Fira, a separate arrival from Athinios.

Useful to know

Confirm which port your ship uses before arranging onward travel.
Check current bus routes and schedules for the airport, Athinios and your final village.
