Henryford Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I think the motorway takes you out of the way. I always use the 36 then pick up the 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Now we know what Google says Don't use that toll motorway which is a short part of the nearly 300 km. 5 hours sounds realistic (maybe less). Of course depending on the ferry times (assuming you want to take your car to the island). And be aware of the excessive five day long weekend July 13 to 17. Expect hell of traffic and overrun island. Edited July 7, 2022 by KhunBENQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped using the 36 as roadworks were ongoing but I've heard now finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10012001 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I have to say it is refreshing to hear from real "boots on the ground" as they say giving real world advice. Good members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
