Getting there
- Planes You can fly direct to the island from London Gatwick every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday during the summer with EasyJet (www.easyjet.com) or connect from Athens in 45 minutes with Aegean Airlines (www.aegeanair.com), Olympic Air (www.olympicair.com) or Athens Airways (www.athensairways.com). A hotel transfer from the airport or ferry pier costs €20 for two passengers each way. In a private vehicle, the cost is €35. Each additional passenger costs an extra €5. There are limited taxis on the island, so it’s best to organise transfers in advance.
- Automobiles The hotel is two kilometres out of Fira and a 15-minute drive from either the port or the airport, along the coastal road. There is a municipal parking lot close to the hotel.
- Others Athinios port can be reached by boat from Athens/Piraeus and other locations such as Mykonos or Crete; see www.gtp.gr. The fast boat from Piraeus is three and a half hours, but others are slower, so it’s definitely worth looking at the timetable. Transfers from the port are available on request.
