Which transfer should you choose?

The two engines returned 63.52 and 63.76 kilometres, 240 metres apart, so the route is not in doubt. What the distance hides is that the last eight kilometres take about as long as fifteen of the expressway that precedes them: the road climbs out of Agios Nikolaos and drops down to the water on the far side.
