Klarna splits your Thera fare into three equal payments, charged every 30 days with zero interest. The first payment is taken at booking, so your seat is locked in immediately.

Available in the UK and select European markets
Clearpay divides your flight cost into four equal fortnightly instalments, all interest-free. It suits UK travellers booking Thera routes on British Airways or easyJet who want the fare spread across six weeks rather than charged in one hit.

Editorial snapshot
Flying to Thera rewards those who plan early. Shoulder-season travellers — April to June and September to October — get the caldera views without the July-August price surge and crowd pressure. Direct seasonal routes from London, Amsterdam, and Rome open the island to Europeans without an Athens connection. BNPL works best when fares are still reasonable; once peak summer hits, instalments are splitting a significantly larger number.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
April and May are the sweet spot for Thera: fares are moderate, the island is in bloom, and the caldera crowds are manageable. July and August are peak in every sense — highest prices, most tourists, hottest temperatures. September and October offer the best combination of good weather and post-peak pricing.

IATA: JTR · 6 km from Fira · 14 km from Oia
JTR is a single-terminal airport on the eastern side of the island, handling a mix of domestic Aegean/Olympic routes and seasonal European charter and scheduled services. The terminal is compact — baggage reclaim and the exit are close together, which is a genuine advantage when you're eager to get to the caldera. In July and August, arrivals queues can back up quickly, so having your accommodation transfer pre-arranged saves real time.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked private transfer | EUR 18-25 to Fira | 10-15 min to Fira |
| Public KTEL bus | EUR 1.80-2.50 | 15-20 min to Fira bus station |
| Taxi | EUR 20-30 to Fira | 10-20 min depending on traffic |
