Guernsey

Getting there & around

A taxi from the airport to St Peter Port takes about 15 minutes (£9). The bus (20 minutes) stops at the main, harbour-side station in town, where all services start (any journey 60p). Value Rent-a-Car (243547; www.valuerentacar.co.uk; per day £30) has outlets at the airport and harbour. Electra Bike Hire (726926; www.electra.org.uk; North Plantation, St Peter Port; per day £6) is near the tourist office, while Millard & Co (720777; www.millards.org; Victoria Rd, St Peter Port; per day £26) hires scooters.

Bus 7, with its round-island, coastal route (60p per trip), is ideal for mini-explorations; see somewhere appealing, hop off, swim, hop on another - sooner or later you'll end up where you started.
