Has anyone rented a car and done the drive to Amanzoe themselves? The price for the car transfer (close to &600 each way) seems pretty exorbitant. Thinking about the Porto Heli ferry, but the schedules aren’t great and seems like the increased travel time will take away from the only three days we have at the resort. Is the drive really bad/to be avoided, or OK with satellite navigation?
thank you!

Will report back about the drive. Btw on the way you can do Corinth.

We have driven down into the Peloponnese from Athens several times. Easy.
The hardest part is getting out of Athens. No fun.
There are several good local car rentals that will pick you up at your Athens hotel and drive you out of Athens proper to the highway which leads down to the Peloponnese. From that point on it is a breeze.
I like the local car rental companies.... cars are new and insurance/theft included in the competitive pricing.

Very easy drive to Zoe from Athens - plus you have the flexibility to divert when you like, go elsewhere (not that you’ll want to most likely), and of course a much less costly alternative to the Heli or House Car.

I think driving is not bad at all either (and it is very easy if you are driving straight out of the airport since you are unlikely to hit Athenian traffic then).
You could probably find a transport company willing to take you to Zoe for roughly half of what they are asking.

I’ve done the drive to Amanzoe from the airport. Maybe I’m in the minority’ but I didn’t find the ride super easy. Once you leave the highway it’s fairly windy so if you’re prone to motion sickness (and my wife is) then it’s not a fun time....
though she enjoyed it better than our recent hop in a Cessna 302... apparently I hadn’t explained how small the puddle jumper was....
