Getting Around
BOAT
In summer, daily water taxis go from Agios Kiry- kos to Therma (€5 return). Heading the
other way, a summertime caïque (small boat) travels most days (depending on weather)
between Agios Kirykos and Karkinagri and Manganitis (€10 return), two southwest
coastal fishing villages. The boat stops first at Maganitis and the idyllic Seychelles
Beach, then goes to Karkinagri. The boat captain usually hangs around and sells sodas
from a cooler, returning you to Agios Kirykos later in the afternoon.
BUS & TAXI
A daily bus makes the winding route from Agios Kirykos to Hrisos Rahes (€9), via
Evdilos (€6) and Armenistis (€9). A local bus makes the 10-minute trip to Therma every
half hour (€1). A taxi between Agios Kirykos (or the airport) and Evdilos costs around
€55.
CAR & MOTORCYCLE
It is a good idea to hire a car or scooter for travel beyond the main towns (though hitch-
hiking is very common and considered safe by locals). Try Dolihi Tours Travel Agency
