I am trying to book a shuttle for 6 people with small amt of luggage to our hotel in Firostefani. I checked with one shuttle service recommended here, they quoted me
$75E (shocking)and then asked the hotel, they don't have a shuttle, but will arrange and it's 60E, does that sound right, isn't it only about 5km drive and 10 minute drive?

Yes, when we used the shuttle in 2015 it was €10 per person.

Thanks for the info, Lee I tried the Hoppa website and put in airport to Hotel Galini, it says it's in Thera, not Firostefani? And trying to do it one way it keeps coming up with 0 options, tried 3 times, what am I doing wrong?

Don't put anything in the return box, just leave it blank, it should come up with a schedule....

Also, from Oia to the airport for a shuttle for 5 is showing 72-76 Euros, but if you use the bus it's only 35 euros for 5 people. The price should not be shocking, There are 6 of u, that is about 10 euros per person.

Monica, I think the mistake you made on the Hoppa website was to enter the name of your hotel instead of the name of the village. The shuttles don't stop at every hotel, just at pre-designated stops along their routes. Since the Hotel Galini isn't right on the road they can't stop in front of it, so you'll have to get them to let you off at the Firostefani bus stop and walk from there. It's not far. The Google Maps "Directions" function will show you where. https://tinyurl.com/yd2bvn3x
