 It's the building in the
middle ! by alucas
When we arrived, the airport was pretty slick, steps appeared on cue, and buses for the short trip to the terminal were waiting. Even the luggage appeared quite quickly.
There are 6 check-in desks, with limited queuing space, so it can get a bit crowded. There is next to no facilities outside security, so you more or less have to go through to the departure lounge. And there was only one security checkpoint – but we didn’t have to wait at all. Once through into the departure lounge, it is also a bit cramped – with two planes departing there wasn’t a seat to spare. No smoking in the lounge either, and the separate smoking area upstairs was closed as well – there were a few tense faces about ! Only two of the six gates are useable – one for international flights with passport control, and one for domestic flights. The other four gates were blocked by kiosks, notice-boards etc ! At least it was possible to but food and drinks, and there was a shop as well. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Olympic Airways approaching
Thera by Saagar
There are several charter companies that fly here from many places in Europe. The others will have to pass through Athens' new and trouble-free airport. Olympic Airways and Aegean Airlines fly frequently from Athens to Santorini (says Thera on the itineraries). Book early as flight quickly fill up in the high season.
The one-way fare with Olympic Airlines from Santorini to Athens in September was 57 Euro. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneWebsite: Respective airlines

Arrived from Athens. Small compact airport. Nothing to complain. My flight was the only flight to land that evening and the airport was close to the water's edge so it was a very welcoming sight on arrival. No connecting bridges. You walk down the plane and straight into the arrival hall. Almost spartan arrival hall with only 1 conveyer belt for baggages. Walked out of customs and straight into a horde of touts and a very large carpark. Airport is just 15 minutes away from Fira by car, the biggest town on the island. Leave a Comment

 Santorini Airport by steventilly
Also, because of the size of the island, nowhere is for for your transfer. Fira is 10 minutes, Kamari must only be 2 (the runway starts on Kamari high street). Oio and Perissa will be farther flung, but even they are sub 30 minutes. Theme: Airplane

The Santorini International Airport located near Monolithos, is a small airport,
The flying time from Athens to Santorini is of 40 minutes. Most of all international flights arriving in Athens allow the connection with a flight to Santorini.
In the summer time, many charter flights and low cost airlines fly directly from different cities of Europe to the island.
It is highly recomended to get a window seat, in order not to miss the spectacular views over the caldera.
The airlines serving the airport include Air Manos, Aegean Airways, Olympic Airways,
Olympic Airways operates at least six flights daily.
The airport has public bus service that makes the transfer to/from Fira but it is quite difficult to catch it in the high season. The transfer time is of about 15-20 minutes.
The taxi rank is situated in front of the terminal. but it is advisable to negotiate the fare before you take it.
Most of the hotels offer transfer to their customers.
The terminal building has no Duty Free or other shops. only a mini cafeteria for a quick coffee and a snack.There are ATM cashpoints inside the airport area if you need cash.

We had a direct flight from Manchester, England to Santorini with XL, taking just under 4 hours. Santorini has a small airport located near Monolithos, not from from the end of Kamari beach where the planes fly over to land. Space is limited in the departure lounges, there is an outdoor lounge upstairs where you can view the planes landing and taking off. There is a small tax free/duty free shop and a couple of bars for snacks and drinks. Several times we found no running water in he toilets so a pack of wet ones might be handy.
With the flight we flew over so many of the nearby islands and had great views with our day time flight. Managed a couple of shots as we approached looking down onto Fira and even our own village Katerados - we could even make out the hotel on it! Theme: Airplane

 Airport by Helga67
Space is limited in the departure lounges, which can be a problem if there are 2 planes leaving at about the same time. There is a restaurant upstairs, a small tax free shop, and a kiosk with snacks and drinks. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

We were late to get the offer of 19 euros of Aegena airlines (final price of 40 euros with taxes) and we wanted the lunch time flight to athens on the 4th, so we booked with Olimpic airways.
I am so impress with them that I want to share it with you.
first they send you by courier the proper flight tickets (ok maybe it is my first time in 5 years that I do not travel with an electronic one LOL)
the following day I had a phone call from olimpic airways to confirm my adress and also confirm is Stace was a female or male name (as it was a Mr with it LOL). It is the first time an airline confirms that the booking si correct!!!!
Ok I may have paid more, but I got the flight i wanted and an incredible service (ok the same hour with aegean airlines was more expensive hehehehe) Leave a Comment
