Getting around

"Renting a car is the most flexible option (right-hand drive). Local buses (cars) connect main towns, but are infrequent. Taxis are available but pricey. Bicycles are great for flat coastal areas. For island hopping, use water taxis or ferries. Walking is pleasant in the compact city center."
