Santorini: Athinios Santorini

Athinios Port Santorini: Athinios is not actually a village, but the main port of Santorini where all the ferries arrive from Athens and other Greek islands. The cruise ships and boat trips arrive in the small port of Fira, but the ferries arrive in Athinios, at a distance of 7 km south of Fira. The port is connected to Fira and all the other villages of Santorini by bus or taxi. The cliff around Athinios is impressive.

There are no houses there, only the buildings of the port authorities and some travel agencies. Over the last years, there are plans to move the main port of Santorini from Athinios to Vlychada, on the southern side of the island, to decompress the central part of the island.
