Travelling to Isola 2000

Isola 2000 is only 37 kilometers from Nice so this is your best airport: Nice côte d’Azur. During the winter time, Nice is a less popular flight destination so it is usually rather easy to find very cheap flight tickets. However, some direct flights to Nice from other major European cities don’t operate during the winter time so you might need a transfer en route.

Upon arrival, pick up a rental car at one of the largest rental car hubs in Europe, or catch the airport transfer to Isola. Make sure you check departure times in advance as this only runs at certain periods. The bus number is usually number 750.
