When is it cheapest to fly to Santorini?

Spring and autumn — April, May, late September and October — sit well below the July and August peak, and few flights operate at all in winter. We are not going to name a cheapest month with a figure attached: Santorini has no non-stop from the United States and we hold fewer than three months of observed fares from US airports, so any single number would be a guess dressed as a fact.

Are there direct flights to Santorini?

Santorini (JTR) has many seasonal direct flights from European cities such as London, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam and Rome between roughly April and October, plus year-round domestic connections via Athens. Most long-haul travellers connect through Athens.

How many days do you need in Santorini?

Three to four days is ideal for Santorini — enough to see the Oia sunset, walk the Fira-to-Oia caldera trail, take a volcano or catamaran cruise, visit Akrotiri and the wineries, and enjoy a couple of beaches.
