Now, it’s time for something else. You’re ready for Santorini, for those wide blue skies and striking white walls. You’ve got two ways to get there: by plane or by ferry.<\/p>\n

As you can probably guess, flying is the fastest way to get there. Ferries take a little longer, but there’s something magical about taking a boat ride.<\/p>\n

Which is the right choice for you? Let’s find out.<\/p>\n

Importance of Choosing the Right Mode<\/h2>\n

Choosing the right transportation between Athens and Santorini is, in part, a matter of cost and time. But it’s also about the vibe and how you’ll feel when you touch down in the Cycladic paradise.<\/p>\n

If you want to hit the ground running, drop your bags, grab your swimsuit, and be sitting by the pool as fast as possible, flying could be the right decision. This can save up to eight hours of precious time.<\/p>\n

But if you want to take the scenic route and turn the travel into a Greek experience in itself, opt for the ferry. So, before you decide on how to get to Santorini from Athens, you need all the details.<\/p>\n

Traveling by Plane<\/h3>\n

Flying is the fastest way to reach Santorini from Athens, and it suits travellers who want to land and go.<\/p>\n

Flight Duration and Costs<\/h4>\n

Most flights from Athens to Santorini take around 40 minutes. That’s gate-to-gate, so it doesn’t count airport transfers. In peak season, planes run all day, often hourly. Expect to pay anywhere from \u20ac30 to \u20ac150 for a one-way fare, depending on when you book and who you fly with. Aegean Airlines<\/a>, Ryanair<\/a>, Volotea<\/a> and SKY Express<\/a> all run regular routes.<\/p>\n

How to Book Flights<\/h4>\n

Book direct through the airline for better customer service if plans change. Use flight comparison tools like\u00a0Google Flights<\/a>\u00a0or Kayak<\/a> to check prices, then go straight to the source to lock it in. If you’re travelling June through September, try to book weeks (if not months) in advance.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=\u00a0\u00bb159525″ media_width_percent=\u00a0\u00bb100″ uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb447362″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb164150″]<\/p>\n

Traveling by Ferry<\/h3>\n

Ferries are slower than planes but give you a very different kind of arrival.<\/p>\n

Types of Ferries Available<\/h4>\n

You’ve got two main types: high-speed and conventional.<\/p>\n
