The city of Fira (or Thira, the capital and largest city in Santorini) is located almost in the center of the west coast of our island only 8 kilometres from the airport, so if the roads are free the trip from Santorini airport to Fira will take no more than 15 minutes by taxi. Nevertheless, it’s important to remember that Santorini is a tiny island that is extremely popular and it can be difficult to find a free taxi here.
A reliable option is to book a taxi in advance by phone or online – taxi booking services and special aggregator sites are open night and day, weekends and holidays, all year round! In this case, the driver will meet you at the chosen location and take you to your address and the cost of a taxi from Santorini Airport to Fira will not change for you – no matter how long it takes, the number of passengers or bags, waiting or for any other reason. Payment is made only and strictly according to the itinerary list and you will know how much the whole trip will cost immediately in the process of ordering.
For this trip you have the opportunity to choose the right type of taxi car for you, depending on the estimated number of passengers, luggage and your other needs. For example, the most common hatchback or sedan may be suitable if you are travelling alone, with a relatively small group or family; it may be that a minivan or even a minibus will suit you if the group is large and one or two sedans are not enough. The cost of a taxi in this case will vary according to the type of car or minibus chosen.

Immediately after submitting your order, you will receive an email confirming your taxi booking. Save it on your phone or print it out and take it with you! The same letter with the details and your contact information will be sent to your future driver, so he will be aware of the route and date of the trip. You won’t even have to explain anything to him in person!
In addition, this method not only allows you to book a taxi quickly, but also eliminates the possibility of errors. You do not have to explain anything to anyone: by entering the destination address, the place of delivery, the time and the date, you can be sure that the taxi will arrive exactly where you need it.

There are not many taxi cars on our island, so the aggregator services help. Uber doesn’t operate in Santorini, but you can use Kiwitaxi. They are the ones who will work with your order if you decide to use their online service.
You can also see our offers of individual transfers and contact our office directly.
The first thing to do is get a list of available cars and check the prices for the route you want to take. Both change throughout the year, depending on the season on the island.
Then you can choose the appropriate class and price of the taxi and proceed to make an order: you need to fill in a form with all the details and contact information, and then – check your email! All the details of the order and the voucher for the trip will be sent to you by email.
A taxi of your choice will be waiting for you. If for any reason your chosen taxi can’t come on that particular day and time, there will be a class upgrade – a higher class taxi will come after you. For example, if you’ve selected “Economy”, a more expensive “Comfort” taxi will arrive. You won’t have to pay anything extra.
At Kiwitaxi it depends directly on the class of car. For example, “Premium” cars and all minibuses must be booked at least 16 hours in advance. If you want to book a “Micro”, “Economy” or “Comfort” class taxi, you must do so at least 24 hours in advance. In other words, it is better to book a taxi from Santorini Airport to Fira in advance. Usually 2-3 days before the trip is ideal.
If there is not much time left before your trip and you need an urgent order, you can look at our offers for private transfers and contact our office directly. We will try to provide you with the right car at the right date and time.
When you book a taxi, you provide your email address. You will receive a confirmation voucher from Kiwitaxi. It will contain the booking number and full details. If you have not received the voucher, please contact customer service.
No problem! Flight tracking is also included. If your flight is very seriously delayed, contact the driver at the phone number listed on your transport voucher. Give your order number and a new pickup time. You can also report about flight delays to the support service.
The exact meeting point will be listed on your voucher. You will receive this by email shortly after ordering. If you are travelling from an airport or seaport, the driver will meet you with a personalised nameplate.
Great! Then you can check out our offers for private transfers and contact our office directly. We will try to provide you with a suitable car, minibus or even a large bus at the right date and time.
