City bus 6 or 12: price for every party size
See the fares with Astiko KTELSeajets runs one boat a day to Santorini, at 08:00, and asks you to be at the quay half an hour before. Take a city bus that leaves the airport by about 07:00; the first leave at 05:50.
The boat lands at Athinios, the port below Fira, not in Fira itself; the island's buses and taxis meet it there.
Seajets' timetable is open only to 2 November 2026; check its site for a later date. High-speed ferries can be cancelled in strong wind.
The city bus stops at the Central Station stop, a short walk from Seajets' quay along the harbour front. The ferry leaves from the quay marked for the Worldchampion Jet and Champions League Jet.
