Every published fare stage
All Santorini destinations by bus
Grouped by area. A place is listed only if KTEL publishes a fare stage for it; places with no published stage (Ancient Thera, Profitis Ilias, Ammoudi, the Fira old port) appear inside the guides as "not reachable by bus" with the nearest stage.
Fira and the caldera rim
The hub and the villages along the rim road north of it.
-
Fira
Santorini’s capital and the centre of its bus network — every published corridor starts and ends here.
-
Firostefani
The quiet rim village between Fira and Imerovigli, on the same caldera path and the same short bus corridor.
-
Imerovigli
The highest village on the rim, with Skaros Rock in front of it — many say the finest caldera view on the island.
-
Oia
The postcard village at the island’s northern tip — blue domes, white lanes, and the sunset everyone queues for.
-
Baxedes
The quiet dark-sand beach beyond Oia, published as a KTEL fare stage from Fira.
Airport and port
Arrival points. The airport has a published corridor; the port has a published fare but no departure table.
-
Santorini Airport
Fira ↔ airport corridor; tickets sold by the conductor.
-
Athinios port
Published fare from Fira; no departure table.
Central villages
Fare stages between Fira and the south, on the roads every southbound bus uses.
-
Karterados
The first fare stage out of Fira on the roads south and east, and a base with more bus options than its size suggests.
-
Messaria
Where the island roads meet: the fare stage every southbound KTEL ticket from Fira passes.
-
Vothonas
Cave houses in a ravine between Fira and Pyrgos, on the same published fare stage as Pyrgos.
-
Pyrgos
The old capital on its hill, with a KTEL fare from Fira and from Athinios port.
-
Exo Gonia
The village on the slope above Kamari, published by KTEL on the Monolithos fare stage.
-
Vourvoulos
A quiet hillside settlement on one of the island’s most limited published bus corridors.
East coast beaches
Kamari and Monolithos, beside the airport plain.
-
Kamari
A long black-sand beach with a proper seafront promenade, an open-air cinema, and ancient Thera on the mountain above.
-
Monolithos
Shallow water, tamarisk shade and a playground — the local families’ beach near the airport, with its own published corridor.
South and south-west
Perissa, Perivolos, Vlychada, Akrotiri and the wine villages on the way.
-
Megalochori
Bell towers, cave cellars and vineyards on the road to the south-west, with a published KTEL fare from Fira.
-
Emporio
The largest village in the south, built around a medieval kastelli, on the way to Perissa.
-
Perissa
Kamari’s laid-back sibling on the other side of the mountain — a huge black beach with a backpacker soul.
-
Perivolos
The continuation of Perissa beach, published by KTEL on the same fare row as Perissa.
-
Vlychada
The island’s strangest shoreline — wind-carved white cliffs behind a dark, low-key beach and a small fishing marina.
-
Akrotiri
A 3,600-year-old city preserved in volcanic ash, minutes from the red-black drama of the southern cliffs.
-
Akrotiri beach (Red Beach)
The fare stage KTEL prints as "Akrotiri (beach)", beyond Akrotiri village, for the red-cliff beach.
