Santorini can be reached from most international airports via Athens. Athens is served by the Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos and from Athens you can fly to Santorini airport (Thira). Nearly all international flights arriving in Greece allow adequate time for making the connecting flight to Santorini, but because local flights have a minimum seating capacity, please book these flights early.
Olympic Airways, Aegean Airlines.

Advanced reservations are not usually required on the ferry boats. For exact times, call Piraeus port authorities.

There are 2 ways to move around Santorini, if you do not have a car or a scooter: the public bus and the taxi. There are connections for every village and on summer time there is a bus every 30 minutes, with the last one at midnight. On winter, the bus runs every 1 hour and the last one is around 9 pm. The central us station is in Fira next to the taxi station. Also keep in mind that the public transportation buses are green. Any other color you will see they are tourist buses. You can find the bus timetables. The buses here do not have automatic machines, so you have to have money with you to pay the collector. Maximum cost per ride is 2 euro per person, depending where you are going.
The taxis are available on winter, but extremely hard to find on summer therefore we strongly recommend booking your transportation before you arrive. If you want to try your luck you can try book a taxi, if you go to the central square of Fira.

Great stay, fantastic staff

The staff was super accommodating and was responsive to anything we needed. The villas are an uphill walk to Oia, which can be a little tricky walking back at night. The pool and hot tub were fantastic. The floors creak a bit, so may be tough for light sleepers.

Tremendous Vacation

My wife and I gave ourselves a trip to Santorini for our 40th birthdays. With a four year old in tow, we weren't able to stay in any of the cliff hotels so we found Oia Sunset Villas and we didn't miss a beat. Marcos has built beautiful villas and has an excellent staff led by Katerina that takes care of your every needs to make your vacation what's it mean to be. The location of the villas are great, a short walk or drive (if you rent a car) to Oia and, our favorite, Ammoudi. I would highly recommend you stay at Oia Sunset Villas. I know my wife and I are looking forward to our next visit there.

Excellent villa

Excellent design of the villa, bedrooms are beautiful with very comfortable beds, the swimming-pool is really nice and the staff is extremely helpful and kind. Amazing sunset view. The hot spot was an outdoor fire pit in front of the Aegean sea. We loved it hope to go back! Thanks so much dear hosts for all your care!

Absolute perfection!!

Me and my fiancée had a wonderful time in Villa "Emerald"! The house itself was really comfortable and clean and the decoration was unique. We enjoyed very much the outdoor jacuzzi during sunset time. The view is STUNNING and rejuvenates your spirit!! We also loved the fact that we were located in a private area far away from noise, yet close enough to the village of Oia (10 min. by feet). The housekeeper was extremely welcoming and helpful... the services far exceeded our expectations! I sincerely recommend that you choose Oia Sunset Villas for your holidays in Santorini island!

Why they chose this property

Unfolding along volcanic rocks, the traditional village of Oia -a listed monument- is the crown jewel of Santorini. Adored by everyone for her eternal exquisite beauty and enchanting sunsets, Oia seduces visitors with her picturesque “yposkofa”, quaint alleys and imposing caldera. Oia village is the number one traditional settlement of Greece and is famous worldwide for its architecture and sunset view. Oia is one of the most beautiful villages of the island, carved out of the cliffs and clinging to the edge. The architecture is amazing and is highlighted by the stark white of the buildings and the contrasting colorful doors and window shutters. It has often been compared to the eagle's nest! Enjoy the panoramic view of caldera, the volcano, Thirasia Island, and the rest of Santorini looking back toward Fira. Strolling in Ammoudi, wandering around churches and neighborhoods, taste the ultimate wines of Santorini at the island’s wineries, delight in the spectacular sea view, feel the volcanic nightlife vibrations and make shopping with style. Oia is a favorite haunt of artists, many of whose works can be found in the local galleries of the village. And no wonder ... who would not be inspired by this magical place! While the sun sinks into the sea, its splendid colors spread throughout the sky. It literally takes your breath away! Get a front-row seat on the terrace of villa and enjoy a drink, while watching the setting sun produce an array of colors beyond your imagination.
