Best time to be in Santorini: May–Jun · Sep–Oct. Fare history for this route is still thin, so we make no seasonal call yet.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 4.5 hours outbound, on a 4-night trip — ticketed under Aegean Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $332 for 2,570 km each way, that works out to about $65 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $39 typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 12 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Santorini, this fare ranks 12th — 1.9× the $177 we hold from London. For context, the middle fare among the 10 routes of similar length we watch out of Madrid is $130. We have 2 months of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage.

MAD → JTR, answered.
How far in advance should I book MAD → Santorini?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Madrid to Santorini?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Aegean Airlines. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
