Airport transfers/Bus

[deanmcd]

Hi,
We're heading back to Plakias after a 2 year break. No transfers booked but been quoted up to £280 pounds for there and back.
Is it possible to pick up a hire car and the airport and leave it in Plakias the next day assuming there is a mutual company at both airport and in the town.

Might even be worth leaving hire in Rethymon next day and getting bus back if feasible.

Cheers

Dean

Your last option would be perfectly feasible. I have heard talk on this forum about hiring a car for (a minimum) 3 days at each end of holiday for transfer purposes using a Plakias car hire company doing two one way trips. £280 seems a lot but maybe taxi fares are on the up fast with the economic situation. This year I am booking with Olympic because their total holiday cost - including transfers - is less than the cost of my regular  independent booking plus hire car for the holiday duration. I will be using my usual B&B (Stella) room and hiring a car locally in Plakias for short periods if we feel the need.

Thanks 'Reception' for such a useful post. I'll make a copy of the taxi prices and build them into the new version of the website I'm still working on!
