Getting
there
You can rent a car at the airport and return it at the Herzliya Pituach
industrial area, about 30 to 40 min walk from the cottage. Companies
like Avis, Hertz and Eldan have offices there. There is a smaller car
rental company near Hof Hasharon beach, 15 min walk from the house.
A taxi from the airport to Herzliya Pituach should cost between the
100 and 150 NIS (between 17 and 25 Euro).
There are good bus connections to and from the Kfar-Shmaryahu interchange,
located several minutes walk from the cottage. Two bus lines go into
Herzliya Pituach (Egged bus 29 and Dan bus 90, see below).
There is a train station
in Herlzliya, but you will need a bus or taxi to get there.
Herzliya Pituach itself
is not too big. You can walk to most of the places, including the beaches,
food stores and restaurants. The industrial park is the only place that
requires a longer walk, around 30 to 40 minutes.
