Transport in Greece

general information

Transport services are traditionally among the most frequently requested concierge services, especially when traveling abroad. It is understandable: the need for a means of transportation arises immediately upon arrival, and the air flight itself is nothing more than a transport service.
However, this category includes not only tickets and transportation services. Booking a taxi, renting a car, buying and maintaining a vehicle in a foreign country are all special cases of the vast field of transport services.

Ticket booking

  • Flights
  • Train tickets
  • bus service
  • ferry service

In the modern world, each of us can order a ticket via the Internet on the page of the company of interest, or using an aggregator site. But this is only if the necessary information is presented in the native language, and the journey itself involves moving from point A to point B. When planning complex routes, it is not so easy to calculate the trip from start to finish: there may be overlaps with the schedule, too long periods expectations, the possibility of making a mistake with the departure time, etc. The situation is even more complicated when it comes to planning a route in a foreign country using air, land or water transport.
In Greece, due to its geographical features, a trip is far from always limited to a simple booking of air tickets. The country has 15 international airports, which is significantly less than the number of islands and resorts. Most often, land and / or water routes have to be reached from the airport to the final destination. Transport in Greece is diverse: each region has its own domestic airports, ports, railway and bus stations. In summer, the schedule is quite tight, but if the route is complex and includes more than 1-2 transfers, it can be quite difficult to plan a trip plan.
The specialists of the Greece Invest booking department will plan for you an individual route that is optimal in terms of time and financial costs, as well as book tickets for a plane, train, bus or ferry. At the exit, you will receive a ready-made trip program indicating the place and time of departure, instructions on how to get to the place, and recommendations regarding the time of departure and arrival.

Transportation services

  • Taxi
  • Transfer

What is the difference between a transfer and a taxi? This is a topic for a separate article, but if you describe it in general terms, then the transfer can be booked any time before the intended trip, its price is calculated in advance and will not change after booking confirmation, the driver will meet you with a sign in the airport arrivals hall, help with luggage, and if necessary - and with accommodation in a hotel. In addition, when making a reservation, you can choose a vehicle class and order additional services, such as a child seat or booster.
Taxi is usually booked immediately upon arrival, or a short time before the expected date of arrival - usually a day. It is unlikely that it will be possible to guess the class and brand of the car in advance, as well as the estimated cost of the trip. But a taxi is available at any time, while a transfer must be booked at least 24 hours in advance. In addition, for a service such as transfers, Greece provides for a separate type of license. This means that a transfer is not suitable for moving around the city and for short distances - in this case, it is better to use a taxi.
Greece Invest offers transportation services throughout Greece. You can order a transfer or call a taxi at any time by contacting a support service specialist.
