Getting there and around
Arriving: Santorini airport (JTR) is 15 minutes from Fira. Ferries from Athens (Piraeus) take 5 to 8 hours.
- Taxis are few. Pre-book transfers from the airport, port and venue, especially for late nights.
- KTEL buses run from Fira to Oia, Perissa, Kamari and the airport. Cheap but crowded in July and August.
- Caldera villages are full of steps. Wear flat shoes and expect cobbles.
- Many guests rent ATVs. Roads are narrow, so a driver is safer after the wedding party.
Booking rooms for your wedding group
- Most guests come in high season (May to June, September to October). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
- Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
- You can get around here without a car, so a central base near restaurants works well for most guests.
- Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
