What goes wrong on this route
The first bus from the airport is 06:10 and the last is 23:10 [source]; a flight landing outside that span means a taxi or a booked transfer, because KTEL publishes nothing later. The bus goes to Fira only: for Oia, Kamari, Perissa or the port you change at the Fira bus station onto a separate published departure, and no connection is guaranteed. The airport says tickets are sold by the conductor on this service and that the stop is by the departures building [source].
