Editing Santorini (section)

=== Transportation ===
The central bus station is in Fira, the capital of the island, where buses depart very frequently. They cover routes to almost all places around the island and to most tourist spots.

Apart from its connection with other Cyclades islands, Santorini is also connected by ferry with Piraeus on a daily basis all year long, with up to 5 direct crossings during summer.

Santorini is one of the few [[Cyclades]] Islands with a major airport, which lies about {{cvt|6|km|0}} southeast of downtown Thera. The main asphalt runway (16L-34R) is {{cvt|2125|m|0|abbr=off}} in length, and the parallel taxiway was built to runway specification (16R-34L). It can accommodate [[Boeing 757]], [[Boeing 737]], [[Airbus A320]] series, [[Avro RJ]], [[Fokker 70]], and [[ATR 72]] aircraft. Scheduled airlines include the new [[Olympic Air]], [[Aegean Airlines]], [[Ryanair]], and Sky Express, with flights chartered from other airlines during the summer, and with transport to and from the air terminal available through buses, taxis, hotel car-pickups, and hire cars.

Santorini has two ports: [[Athinios (Santorini)|Athinios]] (Ferry Port) and Skala (Old Port).<ref name="athiniosprt">{{cite web|url=https://www.santorini-port.com|title=Athinios Ferry Port in Santorini|website=santorini-port.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250425180027/https://www.santorini-port.com/|archive-date=25 April 2025}}</ref><ref name="santoriniports">{{cite web|url=https://www.santoriniports.gov.gr/en|title=Municipal Port Fund of Thira (Santorini Port Authority) - Ship Traffic (Live Map)|publisher=Municipal Port Fund of Thira|language=el, en|website=santoriniports.gov.gr|url-status=live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20250425175335/https://www.santoriniports.gov.gr/en|archive-date=25 April 2025}}</ref> Cruise ships anchor off Skala and passengers are transferred by local boatmen to shore at Skala where Fira is accessed by [[Santorini cable car|cable car]], on foot or by donkeys and mules. The use of donkeys for tourist transportation has attracted significant criticism from animal rights organisations for animal abuse and neglect, including failure to provide the donkeys with sufficient water or rest.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Greek island accused of abusing its star attraction: donkeys |url=https://www.dw.com/en/greek-island-accused-of-abusing-its-star-attraction-donkeys/a-49480177 |date=8 July 2019 |website=DW.COM |language=en-GB |access-date=11 July 2019 |archive-date=8 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190708171609/https://www.dw.com/en/greek-island-accused-of-abusing-its-star-attraction-donkeys/a-49480177 |url-status=live}}</ref> Tour boats depart from Skala for Nea Kameni and other Santorini destinations.<ref name="athiniosprt"/><ref name="santoriniports"/>
