How to get around

 

Car Rentals

Car rentals are available from the Airport and from City Centres.

 

Public transports

Local Buses stop close to all of our properties. There are several bus companies to take you to the most interesting tourist spots at low cost. The tourist information offices can provide you with guides of the bus timetables and routes. Most travel agencies organise excursions in their own coaches to the most interesting tourist spots.

 

Taxis

We have engaged the services of our very own English speaking Taxi Driver.

Our driver can pick you up from the Airport & take you back for your return flight.

The our drivers prices are comparable to the price you would pay an Airport taxi driver, but we would recommend that you use our driver as Airport taxi drivers have a tendency to get lost when trying to find Private Villas !

We also have set prices for many popular locations that you may wish to take advantage of.
