Traffic
Transportation on the island is possible using village buses (local buses), cabs, and rental cars.
Village buses connect the main tourist attractions and harbors, but the frequency of service varies depending on the season. In addition, the roads on the island are narrow, and most bus stops do not have ramps for wheelchair access. Please check the website of the village office before using the buses.
One of the two cab companies has wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
There are two car rental agencies, but most of them use light cars due to the conditions of the island's roads.
