Greece is an easy place to travel around thanks to a comprehensive public transport system. Buses are the mainstay of land transport, with a network that reaches out to the smallest villages. Trains are a good alternative, where available. To most visitors, though, travelling in Greece means island-hopping on the multitude of ferries that crisscross the Adriatic and the Aegean. If you’re in a hurry, Greece also has an extensive domestic air network.

Olympic Airways and Aegean Airlines operate flights between many cities and islands at about three times the ferry fare.

Buses are the most popular form of public transport, as the train system is limited and confined to the mainland.

People do cycle in Greece, but you’ll need strong leg muscles to tackle the mountainous terrain.
