Santorini (Thira) Airport (JTR) serves the iconic Cycladic island of Santorini, handling around 2 million passengers per season. Located 5 km from the caldera village of Fira, the airport is the air gateway to Santorini’s world-famous sunsets, blue-domed churches, black volcanic beaches and luxury cave hotels built into the caldera cliffs.
Aegean Airlines connects Santorini to Athens year-round; easyJet and Ryanair operate seasonal European routes. The airport has a small terminal that can become very busy in summer. Bus, taxi and car hire are available. High-speed ferries also connect Santorini to Piraeus and other Cycladic islands.
