Buses usually leave on time, but delays are commonplace, so beware if you are trying to achieve a fairly tight connection somewhere along the way. Individual bus services and contact details are mentioned as appropriate throughout this guidebook. Some short shuttle-bus services are referred to as navettes, and this term is also used for complimentary transport offered by accommodation providers.

By taxi

Taxis are available at all the airports and ports, in all the main towns, and in many villages and rural locations. The telephone numbers of certain taxi companies and individuals are given throughout this guidebook, since they may offer the only chance to reach or leave some of the places along or near the GR20. Fares may be metered or fixed, although you may be able to agree a price. Most drivers charge extra in the evenings and on Sundays, and there may be a small charge for your baggage too.

For short journeys, when you want to keep moving, a taxi is good value, but for a long transfer round the island, it will be very, very expensive. Bear in mind that on a long journey, you may have to contribute towards the driver’s long journey home. A general rule of thumb is that a long taxi journey will cost ten times more than the bus fare.
