Flights from Atlanta to Athens for Sept of 2024 were ~$1500. There is a direct flight from Atlanta to Athens.

Santorini Airport - Thira international Airport (JTR)
Flying directly from Atlanta to Santorini usually involves at least 1 layover/connecting flight. I have not seen a direct flight (so far) from Atlanta to Santorini.
