Arrival by Plane

Santorini has a small but busy airport (JTR), located 6 km southeast of Fira. In the high season, it is one of the busiest in the Cyclades.

Direct Flights from Germany

In summer (May–October), Eurowings, Condor, and Ryanair fly directly from German airports to Santorini. Flight time: 2.5–3.5 hours. Prices: from €100 return (early booking with Ryanair), regularly €200–500 depending on the season. Important: Connections usually only exist from April/May to October — there are no direct flights from Germany in winter.

Via Athens

You can reach Santorini year-round via Athens (ATH): Fly to Athens (numerous connections, also cheap with Ryanair/easyJet), then continue to Santorini with Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air, or Sky Express (45 minutes, from €50 one way). Up to 10 flights daily in summer. Alternative: Ferry from Piraeus (see below).

From the Airport to Town

From the airport to Fira: Bus (KTEL, €1.80, 15 min., synchronized with flights) or Taxi (€15–20, fixed rate). To Oia: Taxi about €30–35 or bus to Fira, then transfer. Many hotels offer shuttle service — inquire when booking.
