The fastest I did it in a taxi with "mad-George" driving was 38 mins!!
The Bus if you mean transfer coach takes anything from about an 55 mins to 1 hour if straight there - - -
Plus it all depends on which of 3 different alternative routes they take and how many drop-off's on the way to your place.
My worst Journey with Thompsons took 1 hour 40 mins, multi-drops - but just over the Hour is average.
I think the Local Bus takes about 1 hr. 30 mins if I remember correctly as it stops a lot.
It always takes a while as it has to go over the ''Mountain'' to get there and the journey can get slowed down on the roads there.
Hope this helps

Our recent experiences with the transfer coach have been anywhere between 1.5 hrs ansd 3 hours plus. The latter being the excetion to the normal rule. These times can vary so much as Tony says depending if the coach has to drop at any other village first and also if you are first or last off at San Stefanos. Where we stay at Teresa we are usually one of the last but one of the first on the return journey. The return journey can be horrendous.

I agree - it depends on your luck! Last year our coach went straight to San Stef. 1 hr 15 mins - the return was beset by severe traffic hold-ups at the traffic lights in the village coming down the Mountain. Never worked out what caused it - but got to the airport with an hour to spare.
I think 90% of the time it runs smoothly.
One transfer a few years back went via San Georges bay, arrillas and Stef, with multi drops, took almost 2 hours.
We just take it as it comes and try to enjoy the ride - mind you everyone leaving has a long face!!

The return journey I also get very sick!!! :(
