Holidays in Tenerife South: The area and getting around

The island of Tenerife is served by two airports, Tenerife North Airport and Tenerife South Airport. If you'll be staying in Tenerife South, it is, of course, best to fly into Tenerife South Airport. From the airport, you'll have the option of using a private shuttle, a public bus, a taxi, or a rental car to reach your holiday rental from there.

As Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife South is quite a large region to navigate, and it is certainly too large to explore entirely on foot. If you plan to explore attractions around the island, a rental car will give you the most freedom. However, you can also use a taxi or a bus to get around if you're willing to be more flexible.
