Santorini is served by one airport, Santorini (Thira) International Airport (JTR), located approximately 6 km southeast of Fira, the island's main town. Despite the short distance, the winding roads and seasonal traffic can affect travel times.

The bus service connects the airport to Fira, from where travelers can reach other villages. Taxis and private transfers offer direct door-to-door service to hotels across the island.
