The bus stops a few metres away from the Albatross, at the top of Naxou Street. They run every half hour from 06.20 with the last one departing at 23.00
A short taxi or bus ride, is all that’s needed to get you to your destination in Amoudara.

Amoudara has a fine selection of Restaurants, Taverns, Bars and Shops, many are situated just a stones throw away from the Albatross.

The fine sandy beach runs the full length from Amoudara to Heraklio, making sure it is never overcrowded and there is always plenty of space to enjoy a quiet day’s sunbathing should you wish.
