The airport was originally built just for military purposes, but since 1972 it has been used for civil flights as well. Today, the small international airport is used for internal flights to Athens and other Greek cities for most of the year, however, during the summer season there are many charter flights from all over Europe arriving here. Therefore, the small and simple terminal gets often overstrained during July and August, what leads to queues forming.

After the arrival on Santorini you can use one of the many buses going to the capital city of Fira (the journey takes about 20 minutes), where you change to concrete bus lines, which will bring you to the most famous resorts of the island.
