If you’d like to use a car, however, you can hire one for the entirety of your trip to offer the maximum flexibility for your vacation, or you could use the local taxis.

However, Santorini is an absolute gem, and is best enjoyed when you can absolutely immerse yourself in the culture and charm with a stay of at least a week.
