Essence Tours · Private Santorini transfers
From a beachside stay in Kamari to an afternoon or evening in Oia, keep your travel plans simple with a pre-arranged private ride and direct communication with Essence Tours.
Tell us which hotel or apartment you are leaving and where you want to arrive in Oia. For seaside accommodation in Kamari, an exact property name helps us establish the vehicle meeting point. For Oia, a restaurant name, hotel address or agreed village drop-off is more useful than a general destination. We confirm these details before your journey.
If you are visiting Oia without luggage, let us know whether you need a one-way ride or a return pickup later. After dinner or sunset, use the meeting point agreed with our team rather than assuming the vehicle can collect you wherever your walk ends. Please tell us about changes so we can discuss what is possible.
For a hotel change, include suitcases, smaller bags and the number of travellers. Families can request child seats when arranging the service; give us the children’s ages so the requirements can be confirmed. If you want to include other villages or sightseeing stops, our private tours may be a better match than a direct transfer.
Send both exact locations and your preferred pickup time. We agree a road-accessible meeting point rather than relying on a village name alone.
For an Oia stay, send the property name and its arrival instructions. Caldera accommodation may have a final walking section or steps; the village name alone is not enough to choose a drop-off. Arrange any evening return in advance and share a reachable phone number. We arrange the nearest vehicle-accessible stop. On arrival, we call your hotel and ask them to send a porter to help with suitcases and show you the way, subject to the hotel’s availability.
Ask for timing advice with your travel date, pickup time and exact Oia address. Road traffic, arrival activity and the final approach affect the journey. For a departure transfer, use the flight or ferry deadline rather than treating driving time as the full time required.
Use the booking form for the actual route and group details available there. We confirm the price and availability with your request. If a location or direction is missing, send the real route to the team; do not select another village to obtain a price.
No. This is a private transfer for your own party. The vehicle or coordinated transport is arranged around your passenger count, luggage and the agreed journey.
Tell us the total number of suitcases for your whole party so we can select a suitable vehicle. Include the passenger count and mention pushchairs or oversized items when requesting the transfer.
Child seats are available without an extra charge. Request them before travel and provide the children’s ages so we can confirm the appropriate arrangement. Include children in the passenger count.
Tell us before booking. We discuss vehicle access, any steps or final walking section and suitable arrangements. A wheelchair-compatible vehicle must be requested and confirmed; it is not assumed for every booking.
Message or call us if your pickup plans change. An agreed meeting time is not automatically changed by editing your own travel itinerary.
Yes. Request Oia to Kamari separately or include both journeys when asking for a quote. Give the return date, time and any departing flight or ferry details. Do not assume the arrival price includes a return.
Tell us before confirmation. A direct transfer and a multi-stop itinerary are different services. For several visits, ask about a private tour or hourly chauffeur so the time and price cover your plans.
Send your date, exact locations, passenger and luggage totals, and flight or ferry details where relevant. Essence Tours confirms availability, price and meeting arrangements. You can pay cash to the driver; ask the team if you prefer a card deposit. Keep the confirmation and contact us by WhatsApp, phone or email for help.
Send your date, preferred time, passengers, luggage and exact locations. We will reply with availability, a quotation and the next steps.
