Thera car hires from £6/day

Due to the narrow roads in the city, but also outside, it is recommended that you rent a smaller car, as you will have less problem squeezing through the narrow streets and finding a parking spot with it. For travelers who want to feel the wind in their hair for the ultimate summer experience, a convertible may be the right choice. Stick shift vehicles are still the main choice of car in Thera and an automatic one may cost extra.

Speed limits change quite often in Thera and the whole of Santorini, so always look at the posted signs. Within the city limits, usually 30-50 km/h (18-31 mph) is permitted and 65 km/h (40 mph) is the limit for open roads; however, it is very important to adjust your speed and slow down considerably when the streets narrow or the road is partially obstructed.

Parking in Santorini is free in almost every area, but during the holiday season it may take some time to snatch up one of the coveted spaces.
