Car Rental Information for Santorini

About Santorini

Santorini is a stunning volcanic island in the Aegean Sea, renowned for its dramatic cliffs, whitewashed buildings with blue domes, and breathtaking sunsets. Its unique crescent shape was formed by a massive volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, creating a caldera that now serves as a spectacular natural harbor. The island’s charm lies in its combination of natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. Visitors are drawn to its picturesque villages like Oia and Fira, where narrow cobblestone streets wind past charming shops, cafes, and art galleries. Santorini’s volcanic beaches, such as the Red Beach and Black Beach, offer a distinctive coastal experience. The island also boasts excellent wineries producing distinctive volcanic wines. Santorini appeals to honeymooners, photographers, history enthusiasts, and travelers seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure. Its unique landscape, cultural heritage, and Mediterranean climate make it a must-visit destination in Greece.

Driving in Santorini

Major car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, and local providers operate on Santorini. Typical daily rental costs range from 30 to 60 euros, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must have a valid international or EU driver’s license and be at least 21 years old, though some companies require a minimum age of 23 or 25. Roads are narrow and winding, especially near cliff edges, so cautious driving is essential. Parking is limited in popular towns like Oia and Fira but available at designated lots. Renting a car is recommended for travelers who want to explore the island independently and visit less accessible beaches and villages. However, for those staying mainly in central towns, public transport and taxis may suffice.

Things to Do in Santorini

Visitors can enjoy hiking along the caldera edge from Fira to Oia, exploring ancient ruins at Akrotiri, and swimming at volcanic beaches. Sailing tours around the caldera and nearby islands are popular, as are wine tasting tours at local vineyards. Adventure seekers can try scuba diving or snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters. Cultural experiences include visiting museums, attending traditional festivals, and sampling local crafts. Dining in cliffside restaurants with panoramic views is a favorite pastime.
