Are there Ubers in Santorini?

Yes, there is Uber in Santorini, but it works a little differently to normal. You'll still use the Uber app, but it'll connect you with local taxi drivers rather than Uber drivers. Santorini is a very popular island, and there aren't many taxis available, so you might want to consider using public transport instead.
