How the airport pickup works
1. Book online
Choose airport pickup, your destination, date and number of passengers. You get the fixed price and an instant confirmation by email.
2. Land in Santorini
Add your flight number when booking. Your driver knows your arrival time and is at the arrivals exit with a sign with your name.
3. Door to door
Help with luggage, a cool air conditioned vehicle and a direct drive to your hotel. Pay online in advance or by card or cash on arrival.
Why book a private transfer instead of an airport taxi
- No queue. In summer the airport taxi rank often means 30 to 60 minutes of waiting in the heat.
- Fixed price. You know the cost before you fly. No meter, no night or luggage surcharges.
- Right vehicle for your group. From a BMW X1 for couples to a 20 seat Mercedes Sprinter for weddings and large groups.
- Comfort. New Mercedes Benz vehicles with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, tinted windows and space for every suitcase.
- Local drivers. Magic South is a Santorini company based in Akrotiri. Our drivers know every hotel and every shortcut on the island.
Frequently asked questions about Santorini airport transfers
How do I get from Santorini Airport to my hotel?
The fastest way is a pre-booked private transfer. Your Magic South driver waits for you at arrivals and drives you straight to your hotel in Fira, Oia, Kamari, Perissa or anywhere on the island. Alternatives are the public bus to Fira, which then requires a change for most destinations, and the airport taxi rank, which has long queues in summer.
How much does a taxi cost from Santorini Airport?
A metered taxi from the airport to Fira usually costs around 20 euros, and more to Oia or the southern beaches, depending on luggage, time of day and traffic. A Magic South private transfer has a fixed price that you see before you book, starting from 35 euros for up to 3 passengers and from 50 euros for groups up to 8.
How much does a taxi cost from Santorini Airport to Oia?
Oia is at the northern tip of the island, about 30 to 40 minutes from the airport, so it is one of the more expensive taxi routes. With Magic South the airport to Oia transfer is a fixed price per vehicle, not per person, so a family or group of friends pays the same whether there are 2 or 8 passengers.
What is the cheapest airport transfer option in Santorini?
The public bus to Fira is the cheapest option, but it runs on a limited schedule and does not reach most hotels directly. For 3 or more people a private transfer often costs about the same per person as the bus plus a second taxi, and takes you door to door with your luggage.
Is it worth booking an airport transfer?
Yes, especially between May and October when hundreds of passengers arrive at the same time and the taxi rank cannot cope. Pre-booking means a driver with your name at arrivals, a fixed price, a vehicle with space for your luggage and no waiting.
Are taxis cheaper than Uber in Santorini?
In Santorini the Uber app connects you to the same local taxis at meter rates, so there is no real price difference. A pre-booked private transfer is the only option with a guaranteed vehicle, a fixed price and a driver already waiting when you land.
Can you Uber in Santorini, Greece?
Uber operates in Santorini only as Uber Taxi, which requests a regular local taxi. Availability at the airport in peak season is limited. If you want a guaranteed pickup, book your transfer in advance with Magic South and we will be there whenever your flight lands.
