Imerovigli is ~7 km from Santorini Airport (JTR), i.e. 15–20 minutes by car. There's no direct bus (change in Fira), so a pre-booked private transfer with a fixed price is the most comfortable way to the "balcony of the Aegean".
Imerovigli sits at the highest point of the caldera rim — the "balcony of the Aegean" — with a quiet, romantic feel and panoramic views. Here's how to get there from the airport.

Transfer options
Bus (KTEL)
Public lines run via Fira, so you'll usually need to change. Cheap, but with luggage and sparse evening services it's less convenient.
Taxi
Santorini has few taxis for the demand; when several flights land together the queue grows and the final price is variable.
Pre-booked private transfer
Your driver waits at arrivals with a fixed price known in advance and drops you at your accommodation's door. See Scoot Transfer in Santorini.
