Discover Santorini by bus, an efficient and sociable mode of transport.
If you don’t have your own car in Santorini, the cheapest and most reliable way of getting around is by bus. The familiar green and white buses are characteristic of the Greek countryside, and their usefulness on the islands is beyond dispute. Santorini bus routes are frequent.
It is easy to get your bearings with the public bus system, making other modes of transportation mostly unnecessary during a Santorini vacation. The main bus station (KTEL SANTORINI) is at Fira, from where there are regular services to the port, airport, Oia and the main villages, with convenient bus stops on the way.
