Santorini Bus Question- Akrotiri to Oia

[dkata]

Planning  our Santorini day. Only two ships in port in September. We want to visit Akrotiri but the day we are there, a Thursday, the site is only open until 3 pm. so we will visit Akrotiri first. We will take the Cable car up from the dock to Fira, walk to the bus station and take the bus to Akrotiri, have lunch at Melina's tavern and then take the bus to Oia.

 

But here's the question. It seems the buses all go to Fira, and then you have to transfer. So we pay and take the bus from Akrotiri to Fira, and then we have to get off and find the bus from Fira to Oia. So do we have to pay again? To take the bus from Fira to Oia? Or can we buy a bus ticket from Akrotiri to Oia and change buses without paying again? Your experiences riding the bus is appreciated.

Hi,

That is a very good question.

I would like to know something else, if I may add to your post?

Do we need to purchase bus tickets before our arrival or are they readily available?

Thanks!
