2. By hiring a taxi
Taxis in Greece use a taxi-meter
and charge a fixed tariff per kilometer. All taxis should have meters working
and a card with all fares visible. You can also make an arrangement for long-distance
trips with a taxi around the island.
Moving around with a taxi
in Chios is a very cheap and convinient way, compared to other countries. You
should only take care that the taxidriver charges according to the legal fares,
which often doesn't happen.
You can find taxis around
the central square. Also, at airports after flight arrivals, and at ports after
vessel arrivals, there are always taxis waiting. You can also call a radio-taxi,
with or without an appointment.
