How
To Come In
Santorini
There is two ways to come to Santorini from Athens
Santorini By Ferry
Santorini is 5 to 9 hours from Athens by
Ferry, depending the type of the ship you
will choose to travel and the price range
for the tickets per person is between 35 to
80 euros.
Santorini is one of the most famous island
of Greece, and for that reason, the ship
connections during the summer season are
very common. During summer time, many ships
make daily trips from the ports of Piraeus
and Rafina (both located near Athens)to
Santorini. The classical ferry route from
the port of Piraeus is Piraeus – Paros –
Naxos – Ios - Santorini. Santorini also has
many connections with the other islands of
the Cyclades and the Aegean (Mykonos, Anafi,
Amorgos, Naxos, Paros, Ios, Rhodes, Crete,
etc). A classical ferry needs around nine
hours to reach the port of Santorini, seven
hours with the modern Blue Star Ferries and
around four to five hours with the
high-speed boats or hydrofoil.
If you take a trip by cruise boat, the
experience will surely leave you with
lasting memories. The main port of Santorini
is Athinios, where buses and taxis meet each
entrance to transport passengers to Oia,
Fira, and elsewhere. All vehicles climb up a
very steep, winding road (it makes seven 180
degree turns) to get anywhere from Athinios.
