Why travel from Santorini (Thira) National Airport to Oia
The ride that opens this holiday is a scenic one. Your Santorini Airport to Oia private transfer leaves the flat eastern plain, crosses the island's ridge and follows the caldera rim north through white villages with views over the volcanic bay. It ends in the village known for its sunsets, where the driver leaves you at the edge of the car-free area and marble-paved lanes lead to cave houses, blue-domed chapels and viewpoints over the sea. Plan your first evening around the walk to the castle ruins at the village edge, where visitors gather to watch the sun sink into the Aegean.
- Cross the island from the airport to the northern tip of the caldera rim
- Reach the famous sunset viewpoints near the old castle ruins on foot from the drop-off
- Blue-domed chapels and cave-house hotels start a short walk from where the car stops
