Getting around in Tilos

Tilos is a relief for stressed big-city dwellers: no traffic lights, no roundabouts, no queues, no congestion charges. Distances are short, there are few roads and traffic is minimal. To explore the island by car or scooter does not take long, after an hour or so, all roads are explored.

BY SCOOTER AND CAR

Car and scooter rental places are only in Livadia. Expect high prices for scooters as it is poor competition. The gas station is between Livadia and Megalo Chorio.

BY BUS

The local bus start out from Livadia and runs to Megalo Chorio, Agios Antonis and Eristos. On Sundays, the bus runs to the monastery of Agios Panteleimon. The bus stops there for an hour, so there is time enough to see the monastery and some of the beautiful surroundings. The bus stop in Livadia lies at the square.

BY TAXI

There are one taxi. Phone number: 6989433392

BY EXCURSIONS BOAT

Stelios has unfortunately stopped with his boat excursions due to illness. It is really a pity for the boat trips to the beaches of Red beach, Lethra, Skafi, Agios Sergios and Tholos were very nice. But there is another boat that you can go on excursion with. The boat is called LADY A.K. The boat leaves from the port of Livadia where you book a ticket at the travel agency Tilos Travel.

You can make day trips a few days a week to Symi and Nisyros with Dodekanisos Express or Blue Star Ferries. You buy tickets at the travel agency Stefanakis Travel in the harbor.
