The village of Karterados is located in the central part of our island, 5 kilometres from the airport, so if there is no traffic, a taxi ride from Santorini airport to Karterados takes about 10 minutes. However, it is important to remember that Santorini is a tiny island which is incredibly popular, so it can be difficult to find a free taxi quickly.
A good option is to book a taxi in advance online or by phone – taxi booking services and special aggregator sites are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all 365 days a year! In this case the driver will pick you up at the right place and take you to your destination and the cost of a taxi ride from Santorini Airport to Karterados will not change for you – regardless of the travel time, number of things or passengers, waiting time or any other reason. Payment will be made only and strictly in accordance with the travel voucher and you will know the cost of the planned trip as soon as you place the order.
For this trip, you have the opportunity to choose the right type of taxi vehicle for you, depending on the expected amount of luggage, passengers and your other needs.

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 Karterados 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.
