We want to take the bus instead of a taxi to our hotel, Capsis Astoria, in Heraklion. Our tour leader told us it would be too difficult to figure out which bus to take and what stop to get off at so we should take a taxi. I’ve taken public buses in other European cities often and find it part of the adventure and a good way to get a feel for the country. I’ve had good experiences with public transit elsewhere. Has anyone taken a bus from the Heraklion airport and is it hard to find the correct one going to Eleftherias Square?
Obviously I don’t speak Greek but I was under the impression that English is a widely spoken second language there. Is that true of Crete?
