Santorini International (JTR) Airport Transfer

Santorini is one of the most famous Greek islands, located in the southern part of the Aegean Sea. Part of the Cyclades group, it is famous for its whitewashed buildings with blue domes, stunning sunset views and volcanic landscape. With a population of around 15,500, it is small in size but attracts millions of visitors each year who are captivated by its beauty and charm.

Modern Santorini is a blend of traditional charm and luxury. Its capital, Fira, sits on the edge of a caldera and opens up to breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean. Fira is the lively capital of Santorini, perched on the edge of the caldera's cliffs with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and the volcanic landscape that so characterises this Greek island. Famous for its whitewashed houses covered in colourful bougainvillea, Fira is a bustling place where visitors are drawn by the lively atmosphere and extensive shopping and cultural opportunities.

Other popular villages include Oia, considered one of the most unforgettable sunset spots in the world. Santorini is not just about the scenery, it's also a cultural powerhouse, with archaeological sites such as Akrotiri and the ancient city of Thera.

As well as beautiful views and beaches, Santorini has much more to offer. These include a visit to the archaeological site of Akrotiri, the remains of a Minoan city preserved in volcanic ash. The island's ancient history is complemented by the Museum of Prehistoric Thira. Take a stroll through the narrow cobbled streets of Oia and Fira and take in the island's architecture, local shops and art galleries. From here, take a boat trip around the caldera to see Santorini's volcanic history at first hand and visit the hot springs.

There are a number of fun islands and towns around Santorini. Nearby Thirassia is for those who want a quieter, more traditional Greek experience with far fewer tourists than Santorini. A short ferry ride away is the island of Ios, famous for its wild nightlife, while Folegandros is known for its beautiful scenery and hiking trails. Nearby is the island of Anafi with its perfect beaches and unspoilt nature.

If you want to get to Santorini, Santorini International Airport is the main gateway. It is the eighth busiest airport in Greece, near the village of Kamari located in Thira, in the Cyclades Islands of Greece. It is approximately 6 km from the city center. Although there are scheduled flights at all times of the year, charter flights are also operated in the spring, summer, and autumn months, when passenger traffic increases.
