Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Santorini Airport (JTR) to Fira, Imerovigli, Oia, Kamari, Perissa and the Athinios ferry port on Santorini, Greece.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Santorini International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Santorini runs from Santorini International Airport to hotels, cave suites and villas in Fira, Imerovigli and Oia along the caldera rim, to the beach villages of Kamari and Perissa, and to Athinios port for ferries to the other islands.
Our Santorini airport transfers start just outside the arrivals exit of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a sign showing your name. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, even on summer days when several flights land together.
Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Santorini airport transfer goes to your hotel, villa or the ferry port at Athinios. Many caldera hotels in Fira, Imerovigli and Oia sit on pedestrian lanes, so your driver stops at the nearest drop-off point. Taking a ferry on to Ios, Naxos or Paros? We drive you to Athinios port; give us your sailing time when you book.
Our Santorini airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your hotel or the port, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and wedding or honeymoon luggage, so it suits families, groups of friends and couples heading to the caldera villages.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Santorini International Airport (JTR), also called Thira Airport, is on the east side of the island, just north of the beach village of Kamari. All flights use a single terminal, and the airport is shared with the Greek military; Fraport Greece runs the civil side.
Flights from Athens and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. Passengers from outside the Schengen area, for example from the UK, queue at passport control. In summer the terminal gets very crowded when several flights land together, so expect waits at passport control and baggage claim. Once you have your bags, head outside, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.
Greece is on Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and switches to UTC+3 for daylight saving time from late March to late October.
Schengen entry. Greece is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Caldera drop-off points. Many hotels in Oia, Fira and Imerovigli are on pedestrian lanes and steps that cars cannot reach. Your driver stops at the nearest drop-off point, so ask your hotel how guests and luggage get from there to the door.
Ferry connections. Ferries to the other islands leave from Athinios port. Give us your sailing time when you book, so your drop-off fits it.
Euro and cash. Greece uses the euro; carry some cash for small purchases.
