 LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION ON IKARIA
Local transportation on Ikaria is via bus, taxi,
boat, or hired car/motorbike. During the summer season scheduled daily bus
service connects the capital, Agios Kirikos, with; Therma, Evdilos, Armenistis
and Raches. Groups can arrange for private bus hire with any of the local
travel agencies. Taxi stands are stationed in Agios Kirikos, Therma, Evdilos,
Armenistis and at the airport(Faros). For planned excursions its best to reserve
a taxi ahead of time. Ikarian water taxis called "venzinas" connect Agios
Kirikos and Therma regularly throughout the day and they occassionally travel
to the villages of Faros, Manganitis and Karkinagri. The water taxis can also
be hired by groups for day excursions around the island. Perhaps the best
way to get around and see Ikaria is to self-hire a jeep, car or motorbike
and drive on the beautiful coastal and mountain roads at your leisure. Gas
stations are located in Agios Kirikos, Ploumari, Miliopo, Evdilos, Avlaki
and Christos Raches.
