Santorini Airport Taxis Mini Guide

Santorini is a big hit with travelers, and there are hotels and accommodation in many of the island’s villages. All these options can make it a bit confusing to get to your final destination, but luckily, it’s rather easy to get a taxi from the airport to take you wherever you need to go. While Santorini does have a bus network, it’s often quite busy and requires long wait and transfer times, and will usually only stop at a designated spot in each village. Traveling by taxi is by far the most efficient way to get to your hotel, as your driver can take you as close as possible to your hotel, and can help you get your bags inside. Plus, it’s a much quicker journey than taking the bus.

How to Get a Taxi at Santorini Airport

Taxis are easily accessible, with a designated taxi stand just outside the arrivals area at the airport. There’s also a ATM nearby if you need to get local currency. To get a taxi, just wait in line in the designated area, and you can get a ride with the next available taxi. You should be able to get a ride within a reasonable amount of time, but it can depend on how busy the airport is when you arrive. With lower crowds, your wait time should be under five minutes. However, if the airport is busy, you could wait upwards of half an hour. If you’re traveling solo or in a group of two, your driver may ask you to share the ride with another small group, especially if lines are long. However, sharing the taxi does not mean you will get a split fare. Both parties will still pay the full fare.

How Much Does a Taxi Cost at Santorini Airport

Taxis from Santorini airport don’t run on flat rates, like in larger Greek cities. All taxis here run on a meter, so the cost of your taxi will depend on how far you need to travel. Cities like Fira, Kamari and the Ferry Port are quite close to the airport, so your fare will be around €20-25 for a 15-20 minute drive. Traveling further away to cities like Oia and New Port will take around 30 minutes, and cost about €30-40. If you are bringing lots of luggage, you may also have to pay an extra fee. You’ll also be limited to four people per car, so you may have to split up your group if you are traveling with more people. Fares also increase at night between 1:00am and 5:00am, so keep that in mind if you’ll be arriving late at night.

How to Order a Taxi in Advance

Waiting for a taxi can be a hassle, so pre-booking transfers is a great way to make your arrival in Santorini smoother. Many hotels can order a taxi for you, or you can book a shuttle bus or car transfer online. This can take some of the hassle out of getting from place to place when you first arrive. Private transfers will naturally cost more than a regular taxi, but onine services can get you to Fira for €35 or Oia for €47.
