Santorini Island Transportation Tips by parsix

LOCAL BUSES Buses Review

It is a unique experince to ride in one of these coaches, especially in the spiral roads that lead to port. Drivers manage to siftly turn in every steep corner while you fell you are about to fly out the window. Buses are very comfortable and have A/C.

Every little town in the island is served by a bus route from the main town of Thira. Go to the main bus station (located at the entrance of the town) and you will find schedules print in a black board.

You are most likely to always find a coach that leaves to the port when you are going to catch a ferrry as they need to pick up passengers that arrive. Still, allow plenty time as sometimes it can get crowded.

Fare is between 1 and 2 euros depending on where you are going. You can only pay at the bus. So don't buy any "advance" ticket at any agency as this will not be valid.

DO IT THE SMART WAY Car, scooter and bike hire Review

First apologies for the bike lovers for what I am to say. ....Bikes seem to be very popular in the islands. I personally think they are dangerous and are little scare of them.... so this was a good option....

If like me you decide to stay at Oia it is convinient to have a car, if you add up 1euro per bus ride it can add up to a lot.
