Why travel from Santorini (Thira) National Airport to Fira
Perched on the rim of the caldera, Fira is where most Santorini visits begin. The Santorini Airport to Fira private transfer crosses the island in a short ride and brings you to a town of lanes, cafes and sea views that drop away to the volcanic bay. From the centre you can walk the cliff path towards Firostefani and Imerovigli, ride the cable car to the old port or catch a bus to the beaches. Staying here also keeps you close to the island's bus station, so Akrotiri, Kamari and Perissa are easy to add during the week.
