Local transportation and navigation tips
Within the resorts walking is the best method of transport. Bus services operate between the towns. Car hire is readily available in all towns and is relatively cheap, but you will want to reserve automatic vehicles in advance. Like the rest of Greece, driving is manageable but best suited for those who are experienced drivers. There are also small scooters, bikes, and ATVs (quads) that can be rented and are easily maneuverable if you need to get through some of the small streets. See the “Stay
