Getting Around the Island

The public bus service is quite well developed, however, if you would like to see some less touristy parts of Santorini, renting a car or motorbike from one of the many car rental agencies is perhaps a better option. Taxis are relatively inexpensive compared to European standards.

Public Transport
A very convenient and cheap way to get around the island is by bus. The service is reliable and reasonably punctual.
The first bus to Thera leaves Kamari at 7.10 a.m., from Perissa at 7 a.m., and the last from Thera to Kamari leaves at 1 a.m., and to Perissa at midnight.

Sample fares (2007):
Kamari-Thera €1.20
Perissa-Thera €1.90
Akrotiri-Thera €1.60
Oia-Thera €1.20

Half-fare for children and disabled. Fares go up a touch late at night.
Detailed timetables can be found on the Santorini public bus website

By Taxi
Taxis in Santorini are a relatively inexpensive way to get around, however, at times can be hard to find. If you choose to call a taxi to pick you up (as opposed to flagging it down), a fee of 2 euro is automatically applied to your final fare.
