Getting Around
The standard overland public transport in Greece is the bus. Train networks are usually slow and limited, though service on the Athens-Patra line and the northern mainland lines is improving. Buses, however, cover just about every route on the mainland - albeit infrequently on minor roads - and provide basic connections on the islands. The best way to supplement buses is to rent a scooter, full-sized motorbike or car, especially on the islands, where in any substantial town or resort you can find a rental outlet. Inter-island travel of course means taking ferries . These again are extensive, and will eventually get you to any of the 166 inhabited isles. Planes are relatively expensive, at three to four times the cost of a deck-class ferry ticket and almost twice as much as the cheapest cabin berth.
