Travel tips!

Hello!!

For the next few days I will post information about how to access the Cyclades islands.

Let's start with Santorini. Santorini is one of the most famous Cyclades island.

An important reason is the easy access that has. You can visit it by air or by sea. Everyday there are scheduled ship trips from Piraeus port, especially during the summer period. Many normal ferries and hydrofoils make daily trips to connect Santorini to the mainland Greece.

A classical ferry that departs from Piraeus needs about eight hours to reach the port of Santorini while more modern ferries need about seven hours. Santorini is also conencted to Thessaloniki (the trip takes about 20 hours) and Heraklion, Crete (4 hours by normal ferry). It is also linked with other Aegean islands, so you can combine your holidays.

Apart from normal ferries, there are also many hydrofoil itineraries to connect Santorini with other Aegean islands.

Using the plane you can choose among the everyday - scheduled flights from Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos) or using one of the thousands charter fights during the summer season. The National Airport of Santorini is connected to most international airports.

The flight time from Athens to Santorini is about 45 minutes and from Thessaloniki to Santorini about 1 hour and a half
