Car: certainly the most comfortable way. With the car you can get almost everywhere and certainly more safely. The roads are almost all paved apart from a few dirt roads in Plaka and Pyrgaki.
Scooters: as always, we recommend displacements from 150 cc upwards both in terms of travel times and for reasons of comfort. Even with the scooter you can get everywhere.
Quad: let's say that there aren't many dirt roads, however it can be a fun alternative but always be careful because the quad is not as easy to drive as it seems.
Public transport: let's say that it has good coverage with public transport, especially towards the most popular tourist locations. Consult the site below so as to understand timetables and routes to better organize your trips independently.
