Getting from Santorini city center to Santorini airport

The fastest options are taxi and private transfer, while budget travelers often choose the local bus (KTEL).

Santorini is served by one airport, Santorini (Thira) National Airport (JTR), located approximately 6 km southeast of Fira, the island's main town. Travelers heading to the airport from the city center can choose from local buses, taxis, and private transfers. There is no train or metro service on the island. Journey times are generally short, though road conditions and seasonal traffic can affect travel time.
