Driving Directions:
Both taxis and buses can be found right outside the airport. A typical taxi fare to the hotel should be 20 EUR; fares should be agreed beforehand. The best way to get around Crete is by rental car or bike, although buses go to most places throughout the island. The Cretan bus company KTEL has stations in all the larger cities and stops all along the routes. Many locations are also accessible by ferry and boat taxi. Taxies in Crete are reasonable but visitors should make sure the driver uses the meter.
