Travel

Flights to Santorini, Greece

For guests traveling to our destination wedding in Santorini from Wisconsin, we recommend flying into Athens from Chicago's O'Hare Airport. From there, you can take a ferry ride to Santorini, which we suggest booking ahead through Ferry Hopper for convenience. If you'd prefer, you can fly directly into Santorini, although it will typically cost an additional $200-$400. If you're planning to stay only in Santorini, the direct flight might be worth the extra cost. If you are not flying from Wisconsin, we recommend looking at the largest airport in your state for best prices.

Here were our travel costs:

Ferry from Athens to Santorini: $102 USD per person

Flight from Chicago to Athens: $1,120 USD (round trip)

Direct Flight to Santorini: Typically $200-$400 more than flying into Athens

Transportation to Venue

There are transportation options, such as buses, taxis, Ubers, or rental cars depending on your preferences. Buses are the least expensive option, with taxis being the next best option unless you are hoping to explore the island yourselves by renting a car. Since we do not have one place where our guests are staying, we are unfortunately not able to have a shuttle, but know that transportation costs may be expensive! We are happy to compensate everyone on the travel to our venue.
