10It’s Easy to Navigate on Your Own


Santorini may be dramatic in appearance, but it’s a relatively compact island, making it easy to explore solo. Buses connect the main towns—Fira, Oia, Pyrgos, and Kamari—frequently and affordably.

For more independence, you can rent a car, ATV, or scooter. Signs are well-marked, English is widely spoken, and the island’s layout is simple to get the hang of within a day. Whether you’re hiking along the caldera trail or catching a bus to a black sand beach, going solo here doesn’t feel intimidating—it feels liberating.
