Ground transport

During the first years of its existence, there were no public transportation options – not even taxis – available for arriving international visitors. Tourists – almost all of them arriving on package tours – would instead be met by shuttles or buses arranged by their hotel or tour operator. However as of 2023 this has changed and the usual range of third party airport shuttles, buses and taxis are now available.
