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.
