Hi Julia. I'm glad you liked 9 Queens hotel. It's my favourite in Edipsos, mostly because of the friendly owners and staff. No, I'm not related to them! The fastest and easiest way to go from Athens is by car. January is a slow month, so you should be able to get a good deal if you decide to rent a car. Besides avis, hertz etc, rhinocarhire is worth checking occasionaly. If you plan to enjoy the spa facilities and don't care about exploring the island, maybe there's no need for private transport. You can then use the buses that run from Athens all the way to Edipsos. My choice, however, would be the train to Chalkida and frome there a short bus trip to Edipsos. Trains are fast and cheap, just don't expect any luxury. Whatever your choice of transport, I believe you won't regret going there. I hope I helped you. If you need more information don't hesitate to ask. Have a nice trip, enjoy your stay! Bye, Dimitrios.
