GETTING AROUND
Greece is an easy place to travel around thanks to a comprehensive public transport sys-
tem. Buses are the mainstay of land transport, with a network that reaches out to the
smallest villages. Trains are a good alternative, where available. If you're in a hurry,
Greece also has an extensive domestic air network. To most visitors, though, travelling in
Greece means island hopping on the multitude of ferries that crisscross the Adriatic and
the Aegean.
Air
The vast majority of domestic mainland flights are handled by the country's national carri-
er,
Olympic Air
(OA; 801 801 0101;

)
, and its main competitor,
Aegean Airlines
(A3; 801 112 0000;
www.aegeanair.com
). Both offer competitive
rates. Olympic Air has offices wherever there are flights, as well as in other major towns.
The prices listed in this guide are for full-fare economy, and include domestic taxes and
charges. There are discounts for return tickets for travel between Monday and Thursday,
