For easy booking, you can reserve by phone or via app, and you’ll have the option to pause for acqua and snacks as you wish.

Port pickups occur near the sailing docks, while airport pickups start at the main landing hall. If you travel with a larger party, reserve a van; renting a car is a separate choice, but a well-priced private transfer often beats taxi meters for a last-minute schedule.
