Trustworthy and personalised Santorini Port taxi services

Santorini is a shiny jewel on the crown of the Aegean Sea. One of the top tourist destinations in Greece, it attracts many visitors each year who wish to experience in person the irresistible views from the caldera, the magical sunsets at Oia, and the rich culinary and cultural adventure that the island offers.

The passenger ferry port of Santorini, called Athinios, is the island’s main entry point for those who don’t arrive by plane. It is located in the southwest, 8.5 km from Fira. After a long and tiring ferry journey, the last thing you would want is to stand in the crowded line of people who have just disembarked and are looking for a ride at the taxi rank. With a Santorini port taxi transfer, you can have a personalised and comfortable start to your Santorini holiday.

The Welcome Pickups pre-booking system takes less than a minute to secure a professional, friendly English-speaking driver who will wait for you at the port upon arrival. After they help you with your luggage, you’ll sit comfortably and enjoy the ride through the stunning Santorinian countryside. And on the way back, if you have a special request such as an early morning taxi to Santorini Port, you can just book that in advance too or ask the driver to help you arrange it before they drop you off at your chosen accommodation.

Fira is situated 8.5 km north of Santorini Port. If traffic is not excessive at the time of your ferry’s arrival, the ride will take 20-25 minutes more or less.

After exiting the port area, your driver will head northwest towards the Ormos Athinios Provincial Road. They will continue for 3.3 km and then turn left onto the Fira-Ormos Perissis Provincial Road. 4.6 km later, they’ll turn right towards Agiou Athanasiou Road and then left onto that road. The centre of Fira is reachable within 200 m from there and your driver will take the fastest route available to your accommodation.

The benefits of pre-booking a Santorini Port taxi transfer

You can book your ride in a minute or two, prepay with your card and cancel flexibly if your circumstances change at the last minute.

The moment you set foot on Santorini port, the long line of passengers waiting at the taxi rank will not affect you at all.

Before your trip, we’ll email you their photo and contact information too.

The cost of a Santorini Port taxi

Typically, Santorini taxis do not use a taximeter to calculate their fares. Before you board the vehicle, you must agree on a set rate with your driver, which depends on the time of the day, the number of luggage items, etc. In most cases, the cost of a cab ride from the port to Fira does not exceed €35.

If you want to have total peace of mind and know the exact cost of your ride in advance, you can pre-book your private Santorini Port taxi transfer with Welcome Pickups. That way, you’ll get a competitive flat fee with no hidden costs and a flexible cancellation policy.
