Santorini’s new sea port is called Athinios and is located on the west coast of our island, just 10 kilometers from the airport. If the roads are clear, the taxi ride from Santorini airport to the port takes no more than 20 minutes. However, it is important to remember that Santorini is a tiny island of great popularity and it can be difficult to find a taxi here quickly.
Ordering a taxi in advance by phone or online is a very convenient way – taxi booking services and special aggregator sites take orders 24 hours a day, without holidays and weekends, all year round! In this case, the driver will meet you and take you to the specified address and the price of the taxi ride from Santorini Airport to the port will not change for you – regardless of the travel time, number of luggage or passengers, possible waiting time or any other reason. Payment is strictly based on your itinerary voucher and you know the cost of the entire trip when you book.
For this trip, you have the option of booking a suitable type of taxi depending on the number of bags, passengers and your other needs. So if you are travelling alone, not with a large group or family, you can choose a normal sedan; if your group or family is large and one or two regular cars are not enough, you may need a minivan or even a minibus. The price of a taxi ride in this case will vary depending on the chosen class of car or minibus.

Booking a taxi from Santorini airport to the new seaport of Athinios in advance is very easy: once you have chosen the type of car you want, you just have to fill in a small form – and your order is ready! You will need to specify the date, time and place of the meeting, your name and surname, the route of the trip, as well as leave your contacts: cell phone number and e-mail. Almost immediately after submitting the booking form you will receive an email confirming your taxi booking. Print it out and take it with you! The same letter with all the details and your contacts will be sent to your future driver, so he will be informed about the route and the date of the trip in advance. You won’t even have to explain anything to him when you meet him!
What’s more, this option offers the opportunity not only to book a taxi in a quick and easy way, but also allows you to avoid mistakes (because it’s quite easy to make a mistake during a phone call). You don’t need to explain a thing to anyone: by choosing the destination, the address, the date and time, you can be sure that the car will arrive exactly where you need it.
If you want to eliminate all risks and avoid worry and unnecessary stress on arrival, it is much better to book a taxi online in advance.
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 the sea port of Athinios 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.
