The hotel offers a private transfer where a host meets you at the train with a porter and takes you to a prearranged water taxi for the 50 minute trip to the hotel. I am going to find out what this costs. However if I am paying a large premium for the greeter it is not worth it. Just curious if anyone has done this trip and what the cost of just the water taxi was.
The cost of just hiring a water taxi at the taxi stand outside the station and taking it to the Lido *should* be in the neighborhood of 50 - 60EU.
