Ferries to Santorini leave from Piraeus, Athens' main port. Standard ferries are cheapest at about €46–€48 per person on deck; high-speed boats cost about €80–€100 and take around 5 hours.
Which boat to choose
High-speed boats save time but can feel rough in strong wind. Conventional ferries are slower but steadier and have more deck space — pleasant for a couple's island arrival.
Where to stay in Santorini as a couple
Imerovigli has the same caldera views as Oia with fewer crowds. You can still visit Oia for dinner and the sunset.
