Santorini bus FAQ

KTEL Santorini (KTEL Thiras). Its published contact details are phone 22860 25404 and email [email protected] ^[source].

No. KTEL publishes nine destination-named corridors — Airport, Oia, Firostefani / Imerovigli, Kamari, Perissa, Akrotiri, Vlychada, Monolithos and Vourvoulos — all from Fira, and no numeric ids ^[source].

Fira. Every published corridor starts and ends there ^[source].

Nine corridors on the current KTEL PDF, each with a departure column from Fira and a return column from the destination ^[source].

KTEL publishes a timetable, not a network map. This site's bus map page draws the nine Fira corridors from the published timetable; no stop sequence is published ^[source].

Departures from the destination back to Fira — the PDF heads it "FROM IA", "FROM KAMARI" and so on — not arrival times ^[source].

KTEL prints a single column per direction with no weekday, Saturday or Sunday split, so no day-type is published and none is claimed here ^[source].

KTEL states no frequency. The densest column is Kamari with 33 departures each way; the thinnest is Vourvoulos with one departure from Fira ^[source].

KTEL prints them beside some departures — 22 marked EXP, 5 marked ΣΧ — with no legend anywhere on the sheet ^[source]. They are shown as printed and not interpreted.

The web routes table was updated on 18 May 2026 and the PDF on 15 September 2026; the PDF adds later departures on Oia, Kamari, Perissa, Akrotiri, the airport, Vlychada and Monolithos ^{[source, source]}. Route pages show both editions where they differ.

KTEL labels the web table a summer programme and publishes no winter edition on the read date ^[source]. Route pages carry the current PDF only.

No source publishes a guaranteed connection; the reviewed site copy has always treated every change at Fira as a fresh departure with your own margin ^[source].

€2.20 ordinary from Fira to Oia, Kamari, Akrotiri, Monolithos, the airport and the central villages; €2.70 to Perissa – Perivolos and to Athinios port; Vlychada is €2.80 on the fare table and 2,70 € on the PDF panel ^{[source, source]}.

No day pass or multi-ride ticket appears on the KTEL fare table ^[source].

No source used by this site publishes a payment-method rule; the only published sales statement is the airport's, that tickets on the airport – Fira bus are sold by the conductor ^[source].

A −50% column for large families and disability and a −25% student column; a +25% night supplement applies between 00:30 and 05:00 ^[source].

KTEL's fare table (19 May 2026) prints €2.80 and its newer PDF fare panel (15 September 2026) prints 2,70 € ^{[source, source]}. Both are shown and neither is chosen.

KTEL publishes a Fira – Athinios fare of €2.70 and prints a 20-minute journey time, but no port departure column ^{[source, source]}. The Municipal Port Fund lists public transport among the port's facilities and puts the port 8 km from Fira ^[source].
