Transfer from airport
« on: October 04, 2012, 05:56:08 PM »
I heard about this from a Brit who lives in Arillas.
Arillas Car Hire (by the hotel) will hire you a car for the day at 20 euro, delivered to the airport.He will then drive you to Arillas, or you can drive yourself.
The only extra is 15 euro for fuel.
You can do the same in reverse.
Sounds like a bargain.

Still 70 euro for return. Think a taxi would be better they are bigger cars.

Think I would prefer to pay the extra, what if your car turns out to be tiny?

San Stefano Car Hire will do the same if the car hire is for a week or more they will deliver the car to the airport and hand it over to you personaly. You just leave the car in the airport carpark when you leave. The charge varies according to the vehicle you want, but there is no extra charge for the airport delivery.
More info / booking can be done through Noula at San Stefano Travel.

I think the idea is that the driver returns to Arillas with you. You get a cheap ''taxi'' and the hire company gets a days hire for a single trip.

This sounds like a great idea, you could get a cheap driving lesson on Greek roads whilst getting to Arillas.

I agree about the great feeling when you you see the sign in the airport with your name for the taxi.The feeling of relaxation is just the best.
Not sure about getting a Greek lesson on driving on local roads.Too scary!
Happy to leave that to the fantastic taxi drivers!
All this is already making me look forward to next August 23rd when we will once again return to our haven of relaxation amongst friends!

I get so excited seeing Tasos (from Anna's Studios) waiting for us at the airport.  As we approach Skripero we have a competition as to what colour the traffic light will be!!!!  Then I catch a glimpse of Gravia and like you Jo, I know when I see the Villa Linakis sign and that it won't be long until I am in my favourite place.

I'm sure this has been asked many times but I will ask again. Does anyone know approx the taxi price from airport to Arillas.

We arrive around 9pm and don't fancy the long trip on coach. I have mobility problems and it would be so much easier to just get a taxi from outside the airport.

Correct me if I am wrong but you don't need to book do you. I have seen them lined up outside the airport.

We have transfers with package holiday but as long as we let the rep know we are going by taxi I would think this would be ok ?

Thanks for any advice
