By Rental Car:

By Moped:

Rentals average USD25 a day. Due to the high accident rate, however, they are not recommended, especially since no insurance is offered. It is illegal to drive a moped without a helmet.

By Foot:

The best mode of transportation on the island is on foot. Be careful as a pedestrian; here traffic will not stop for you.
