Getting to and from Santorini’s busy airport or port can be a challenge, especially after a long flight or ferry ride. If you’re looking for a hassle-free, private way to start or end your trip, the Private Transfer service offered by The breeze Tour Santorini could be just what you need. For around $46.30 per person, you’ll enjoy a personalized ride that takes you directly to your hotel or to the airport/port, without the delays or discomfort of shared shuttles or crowded taxis.
What makes this service stand out? First, it’s scheduled ahead of time, meaning you avoid the often long taxi lines or waiting for a shared vehicle. Second, the driver tracks your flight or ferry so you won’t be left waiting if your schedule shifts. These features combine to create a seamless start or finish to your Santorini adventure. On the downside, it’s a one-way service, so if you want round-trip transport, you’ll need to book both legs separately. This service is especially suited to travelers who value comfort and punctuality, and those arriving in Santorini for the first time who want a stress-free introduction.

Why You’ll Appreciate This Transfer Service in Santorini
Santorini is one of those places where the journey can be as scenic as the destination. We love that this private transfer service takes the stress out of arriving or departing. Instead of navigating unfamiliar public transportation or waiting in line for a taxi, you’ll be greeted by a courteous driver holding a sign with your name (a simple, reassuring sight after a long journey). We also appreciate that the service tracks your flight or ferry, so your driver is ready when you arrive — no unnecessary waiting.
The luxurious van that most reviews mention suggests a comfortable ride, especially after a long flight or ferry crossing. Your driver is not just a chauffeur but also a local guide who can offer tips or point out sights as you cruise along. Since all you need is a one-way transfer, it’s perfect for starting your stay or ending it on a high note. Plus, booking at least 24 hours in advance means you can plan ahead without last-minute surprises.

What to Expect on Your Transfer
Once you book, you’ll receive confirmation, and your driver will be ready at your designated meeting point—either the airport, port, or your accommodation. Upon arrival, the driver will be waiting with a sign with your name, ready to whisk you away. The entire process is straightforward and designed to save you time and effort.
If you’re arriving at the Santorini Airport (JTR), your driver will meet you at the arrivals hall, possibly near the baggage claim if you have checked luggage. For those arriving at Athinios Port, the driver will be waiting at the designated meeting point, which could be the main dock area. If you’re departing from a hotel or Airbnb, the driver will come to your door at your scheduled pickup time, typically at least 2 hours before your ferry or flight.
The duration of the transfer is generally between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on your destination, but travelers consistently note that the ride is smooth, comfortable, and quick—crucial when you’re eager to start exploring or head home.
The Experience in Practice
Our reviews highlight how travelers value the professionalism and friendliness of drivers like Augelo and Arthur. One reviewer mentions traveling with Augelo from a hotel to the port, describing him as “extremely courteous and well trained,” and recommending him highly. Another reviewer appreciated the “stress-free transfer with a luxurious van,” emphasizing the comfort of the vehicle.
Perhaps most compelling are the comments about stunning views and personalized service. Though the transfer itself is a short ride, it becomes a pleasant start or end to your day, especially when driven by someone knowledgeable about the island. One review even called it “the best tour ever,” with the driver knowing “everything about the island” and taking travelers to the most beautiful places.
The Practicalities
The booking process is simple, with confirmation typically received within 48 hours. The service operates every day from 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM, giving you flexibility for early or late arrivals. The cost of $46.30 per person is a good value considering the convenience and comfort, especially when compared to taxis or shared shuttles that might take longer or involve multiple stops.
Remember, this is a private, one-way transfer. If you want to arrange both your arrival and departure, you’ll need to book each leg separately. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance, so if your plans shift, you can cancel without penalty.
Who Is This Private Transfer Service Best For?
If you value timeliness, comfort, and avoiding hassle, this service fits the bill. It’s particularly appealing for first-time visitors who want to start their trip smoothly or those arriving late at night or early in the morning. It’s also ideal for travelers with heavy luggage or groups who prefer a personalized experience without sharing with strangers.
The glowing reviews about the friendly drivers and luxurious vans suggest it’s well-suited for travelers who appreciate a touch of class and professionalism. It’s also perfect for those who want to maximize their time on the island rather than waste it on transportation logistics.
