How to get to the City Centre

To get to the city center from the airport, you can choose between taxis, which are readily available outside the terminal, and shuttle buses that operate regularly. Renting a car is also an option if you prefer more freedom to explore at your own pace.

Public transportation

Public transportation in Santorini consists mainly of buses that connect all major towns and attractions. Travelers can purchase single journey tickets or day passes, which offer cost-effective solutions for tourists wanting to explore the island extensively.

Wear comfortable shoes as the terrain can be steep and uneven, especially in the old town areas. Always carry water to stay hydrated, especially during the warm months. Don’t miss the local cuisine; try fresh seafood and the famed Santorini tomatoes.

Santorini is generally safe, but it's wise to be cautious of pickpockets in crowded areas. Medical facilities are available, but essential supplies like sunscreen and medications should be on your list. The emergency number in Greece is 112.

Local customs and etiquette

Shaking hands is a common greeting, and saying 'efcharistó' means 'thank you.' Tipping in restaurants is appreciated, around 10%. Dress codes are casual but modest in religious sites. Respect Greek Orthodox customs and avoid loud or disruptive behavior.

Nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Santorini is a part of Greece's Cyclades islands. Known for its stunning caldera, which is a result of a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, Santorini boasts some of the most scenic views on the planet. The island's villages, like Oia and Fira, are famous for their iconic blue-domed churches and narrow, winding streets. Beyond its physical beauty, Santorini has a rich historical tapestry, with ancient archaeological sites such as Akrotiri adding layers to its charm.

No trip to Santorini is complete without watching the sunset in Oia, where the horizon is painted with vibrant colors. Another must-visit is the ancient town of Akrotiri, often referred to as the "Minoan Pompeii". The Red Beach, with its dramatic landscape of red cliffs and azure waters, offers a perfect spot for a leisurely day. The island is also dotted with elegant wineries offering tours and tastings where you can sample the local wines that the island is famous for. For the more adventurous, the hiking trail between Fira and Oia provides breathtaking sea views.

The best time to visit Santorini is during the shoulder seasons of late April to early June or September to early October when the weather is pleasantly warm. During these months, the island is lively, yet quieter and more manageable than in the peak summer months. July and August are perfect if you enjoy a bustling atmosphere and don't mind the higher volumes of tourists. However, those visiting in the off-peak winter months will find a more tranquil experience, albeit with cooler temperatures and some closed businesses.
