The access road to the villa is steep and includes two sharp bends. We advise our guests not to rent a very small car, but also not to choose a van or minibus. Due to the limited turning radius, navigating the bends on the uphill road to the villa can be challenging.

There are several car rental facilities located at the airport and we recommend you to have a look at the website of Rentalcars. We can also recommend Alex rent a car. They know the road to our villas and can give you proper advice. You can send them an e-mail for an enquiry.
