How to get from the airport to the city centre?
Once your flights to Santorini land, the only choice is to get a bus to the centre. On top of this limitation, the buses are also very infrequent. You can find the bus schedule out of the airport just before the exit and it’s worth making a note of it so you know exactly how many hours you have to wait. The easiest way to find your way would be to arrange for transfers before you arrive. Once you’ve booked your flights to Santorini, check which hotels provide a pick-up service as it’ll help you out a lot and save you a lot of time once you arrive. You can also pre-book private shuttles to collect you, but don’t expect this to be cheap unless there are a few of you splitting the costs.
