Travel & Transfers
Air travel
If you book your tickets early enough, especially with Easyjet, you can get tickets for less than £100. Aegean airlines have also good prices. Many of our customers are using travel agencies again who are now as competitive as the Internet, but more convenient and faster.
Luggage safety: If you have a stop on your flight, I suggest that you attach an extra contact sticker on your bags. I make them myself, stick my contact and flight number with tape on a plastic support that I attach with strong plastic link (rizlan, the one used by electricians).
Luggage cost: Airlines now sometimes charge us for extra luggage. The best way in my opinion, if you are on a budget, is to cheat… (see Luggage article)
Airport or train station transfers
You will be always picked up at the train station or at the airport if we have many customers, depending of arrival time and the number of pilots.
There is a direct train, right from the airport, to Korinthos (45 minutes from the hotel), where we will pick you up. This train is clean, on time and comfortable – all our customers appreciate it!
Sometimes we have a car left at the airport or at the train station by a returning customer. If you feel ok to drive it over to the hotel, inform us about it. The route is very simple and a map would, of course, be in the car.
Transfer cost: Transfers are offered to and from Korinthos train station for bookings of one persons for 12 days, or 2 persons for 9 days, or 3 persons for 8 days, or 4 persons for 7 days.
Other way a participation of 20 euro per transfer will be required.
If your transfers are included and you need an airport transfer (late, strike, etc), the extra cost is 80 euro, per transfer (if not included, 110 euro)
For more than 4 people, please check with us.
Arrival time/ departure time? The last train from airport leaves at 10.39 pm, so if your flight is later than 9.30 pm, you may need an airport transfer (see above).
The first train arrives at the airport at 7.06, so if your flight is earlier than 8.30 you will need an airport transfer (see above)
