    Getting TO/AROUND: All the small taxi companies have been cleared out of the arrival area. Outside the arrival building, there is a kiosk for taxis operated by Julia Dumna. Do not ask who owns this company, but the fares have increased to SYP 1,000 to the city centre and more for other destinations. You have no choice, if you want to travel by taxi, as the police chase any lingering yellow taxis away.
