What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect Thanasis to be holding a sign with my name on it when I stumbled out of the Santorini airport at midnight. My brain was still foggy from the flight, but there he was—smiling, waving, and somehow making me feel like I’d just come home instead of landing somewhere totally new. The air smelled faintly salty and warm, even that late. He grabbed my suitcase before I could protest (I’m stubborn about that stuff) and led me straight to his spotless van—cool air blasting, Greek music playing softly in the background.

We set off through winding roads I never would’ve found on my own. The main keyword here is “Santorini taxi & private transfers,” but honestly, it felt more like catching a ride with someone’s uncle who knows all the shortcuts and best places for baklava. Thanasis pointed out a tiny bakery lit up at 1am (“Best spanakopita on the island,” he said), then asked if I wanted to stop for photos—even though it was pitch black. We laughed about how lost I’d get trying to drive these roads solo. He told me stories about growing up here; his English had that gentle Greek lilt that makes everything sound a little softer.

The next morning, he picked me up again—right on time—to take me down to the port. Sunlight bouncing off white walls, mopeds zipping past, locals waving at him as we drove by. There was WiFi in the van (which saved me when my roaming failed), and he gave me tips for avoiding cruise ship crowds later that day. I noticed how careful he was with an older couple’s luggage at one stop—he even made sure their stroller was folded just right. It’s small things like that which stick with you, you know?
