Bangalore to Santorini Flights

The Bangalore to Santorini air route connects Bengaluru Intl (BLR) to Athinai (ATH). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 5 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Bangalore and Santorini. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Bangalore to Santorini for its iconic white-washed villages and stunning Aegean Sea views. It's a popular destination for honeymoons, romantic getaways, and exploring Greek culture. Be prepared for a long journey with at least one layover.

Santorini uses the Euro. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's a good idea to have some cash for smaller establishments and tips. Public transport, especially buses, are a cost-effective way to get around the island.
