Recommendation
For a balance of efficiency and comfort, flying is the recommended mode of transport as it offers the quickest route at a reasonable cost, assuming you book in advance. If you prefer driving, it can be a beautiful trip along the southeastern coast, allowing for flexibility and exploration along the way. Bus travel is affordable but may require patience due to the longer travel duration.
