How to Get to Santorini

Hello Kidslovegreece. We are a family of 4 that will spend our vacation in Santorini. We wanted to ask you if you know what's the quickest way to get to Santorini.

Many people choose to fly into Santorini (Thira) International Airport (JTR). It is about 45-50 minutes from Athens by direct flight, while there are connections with many other European cities.

It is also possible to take a ferry to Santorini from the main Athens port, Piraeus. The duration of the ferry trip depends on vessel type and weather. The fastest high-speed ferry from Athens takes about 4 hours and 45 minutes to get to Athinios port in Santorini. Ferries connect Santorini to several other islands, like Crete, Mykonos, Paros and Naxos. 

Finally, Santorini is a popular cruise stop.
