Transportation

IS THERE UBER ON THE ISLAND?
Yes, there is Uber in Santorini, but it works a little differently to normal. You’ll still use the Uber app, but it’ll connect you with local taxi drivers rather than Uber drivers.

HOW MUCH DOES UBER COST IN SANTORINI?
No matter where you’re going on the island, there’s a base fare of €36. It's the minimum no matter the distance (even is it's only 5 minutes), but it will increase the further you travel.

TYPES OF UBER
Uber is fulfilled by local taxi companies in Santorini as there's not a lot of choice when it comes to the type of cars you can order:

Van: Large groups up to 6 people
Uber Comfort: Nice cars with higher rated drivers

CHEAPER OPTION:
If you like having the flexibility to explore on your own terms, hiring a car is the best option. It’s much more affordable than taking taxis, and means you can come and go as you please.
