All about Santorini Airport
The Greek islands offer some of the most pleasant vacation conditions imaginable, which explains the popularity of destinations like Mykonos and Santorini. With magnificent sunbaked black sand beaches and craggy coastlines, islands like Santorini provide picture-perfect settings for honeymooners or families. The boisterous nightlife scene that attracts twentysomethings to the nightclubs of Mykonos is less of a factor in Santorini. Instead, visitors will be able to enjoy hikes through rocky terrain to enjoy epic views and wonderful hillside towns with Taveras and wine bars to enjoy the inimitable sunset on the Aegean Sea.
There's plenty of scientific and historical intrigue to Santorini as well. One of the largest volcanic eruptions ever documented occurred around 1600 B.C. This seismic event created the circular Caldera, and these eye-catching views are what make Santorini such a special island.
Visitors arrive on the island in a variety of ways. Some will make a call at the Port of Santorini as part of a cruise. The most posh travelers arrive by helicopter. For most, a quick flight to Santorini Airport will officially get you from cities across Europe and North America to the island.
It's not a terribly large island so it's highly convenient to get from the airport right to sightseeing or relaxing. Santorini can get crowded during peak travel seasons, so you won't want to be lugging your bags around hotspots like Fira or Oia. That's where Bounce luggage storage services can help you enjoy your trip right after landing or the last few hours before your departure time.
