If you\u2019ve been to Malaysia, but haven\u2019t been to Langkawi, this means you actually haven\u2019t been to Malaysia! Heavenly beaches, cheap Airasia flights from Kuala Lumpur and duty-free shops leave no excuse for you to miss it. <\/p>\n

The only problem Langkawi has is its lack of public transportation. Having come from the airport by taxi, next morning we decided to hire a car. And we did not regret despite the left-hand traffic. The taxi cost 30 MYR per hour, but if you reach your destination and let the taxi-driver go, it is likely that you will not get another car. The receptionist from our hotel (Best Seven Motel) called to the car rental company, and their employees came to pick us up in 15 minutes. They brought us to the ferry terminal and offered two options: automatic Almeria (110 MYR a day) and local VIVA (70 MYR, plus 30 MYR as a deposit). As we wanted a smaller car, we chose the second option. It was of course very unusual to drive it, but, after all, it was easy too: the island is small, there are signs everywhere, and we had a map from the hotel and Nastya as a navigator.
