Essence Tours · Private Santorini transfers
Continue from your ferry at Athinios Port to Finikia with an agreed pickup plan. Essence Tours coordinates the arrival details and the accessible drop-off for your hotel or villa.
This service is for Athinios, Santorini’s ferry port. It is not a pickup at the old port below Fira or at Ammoudi Bay. Please send the ferry company or vessel name, arrival date and scheduled arrival time, along with your passenger and luggage details. Our team will confirm how to meet your driver after disembarking.
Include the exact accommodation name or a map pin when requesting your ride. In Finikia, some properties are approached on foot through village lanes, so the closest accessible vehicle stop may differ from the property entrance. Discuss any steps, mobility needs or heavy bags with us in advance. We will clarify the practical drop-off rather than promise road access to every door.
A ferry departure needs more planning than a casual village pickup. Tell us the sailing time, ferry name and your accommodation location. We will discuss a suitable pickup time that takes the port approach into account. The return is booked separately unless it is expressly included in your confirmed arrangements. Keep in touch if your ferry schedule changes.
When you leave the ferry at Athinios, your driver waits directly opposite the disembarkation point with a sign displaying your name. Send your vessel name and arrival date: we monitor ferry arrivals and delays. Cruise tenders at Fira Old Port require a different meeting arrangement. See the ferry pickup guide.
Use the actual Finikia property name rather than only Oia. Confirm the accessible vehicle stop and any last section through lanes or steps with your host. If Finikia is not in the form, request this journey directly rather than choosing Oia as a substitute. 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 Finikia 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.
We monitor the flight or ferry details supplied. Contact us if the service is cancelled, replaced or your travel plans change so we can coordinate the pickup. Keep the confirmed contact details available.
Yes. Request Finikia to Athinios Port 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.
