Taxi Cost from Thessaloniki to Milina/ Volos

The Question:

Could you please tell me the approximate cost and journey time of a taxi from Thessaloniki Airport to Milina. I\'d also be grateful for information about other travel options, eg buses to Volos and Milina, and the timing and costs of these. (Previously I have flown to Volos but the flights from London have now become very expensive in August.)
Many thanks

The Answer:

Hello!
Taking a taxi from a city to reach another one in Greece can be quite expensive. Nevertheless it is worth asking a greek taxi company first, because sometimes it can be more convinient. Each taxi company has different prices for different routes. I asked the taxi company (www.thetaxi.gr) and they informed me that the cost from Thessaloniki to Milina is 250€ and lasts almost 3 hours. If you take the taxi until Volos, then the cost is 220€ and the journey time 2,5 hours.
Another travel option are the suburban buses KTEL. This kind of buses usually take longer to reach a destination, due to the frequent stops in other villages, but tickets are cheaper. More specifically, a bus ticket from Thessaloniki to Volos will not cost you more than 25 euros.
I hope I managed to help you!

Journey Time Rhodes - Kos - Santorini by Ferry

The Question:

how long does it take on the ferry from rhodes to kos and santorini.cheers

The Answer:

Thank you for the question!
If you take the GA ferry "Dimitroula", then the journey from Rhodes to Kos will take you approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes. If you take the Blue Star ferry "Blue Star 2", then the journey will last 2 hours and 45 minutes. From Kosthere is no ferry connection to Santorini, but you can take a ferry from Rhodes and the journey will last approximately 1,5 hours.
Keep in mind that ferry itineraries are subject to change. I suggest you double check ferry itineraries with a website that can give you relevant and reliable information (e.g. http://www.fantasticgreece.com/) or even with the port authorities of the area.
I hope this has helped you!
