- Taxis are readily available but not metered as standard; use radio cab service or agree fare in advance.
- Scooters are popular and practical on narrow roads; easy parking compared to cars.
- Most vehicle rental companies allow pickup/delivery at the airport; book in advance during summer.
- Public buses are affordable and reliable for set routes; for complete island flexibility, scooter or car rental is recommended.
