Several bus companies operate along the main road E18 / E39 between Oslo and Kristiansand / Stavanger.

Nor-Way Bussekspress: http://www.nor-way.no/nbeweb/show.do?page=150;1081

Nettbuss: http://www.nettbuss.no/telemark/

Konkurrenten: http://konkurrenten.no/index1.html

They all stop at Tangen by E18, where you can catch a local bus down to Kragerø. The connestion is quite OK, you usually will not have to wait very long at Tangen.

Should you have to wait, there is a shopping centre with a cafe and a chinese restaurant two minutes away from Tangen bus terminal.

Taxi station

Downtown Kragerø is small. When it comes to transportation, everything is within 5 minutes walking distance: Bus and taxi terminal, taxi boats and ferries. Jetties for mooring private boats are also close by.

Going by taxi is expensive in Norway compared to most other countries. A 5 minutes drive is appr. NOK 100, it is relatively cheaper the longer you go.

Bus arrival, Krager��

You can travel by train from Oslo or Stavanger / Kristiansand. You have to get off at Neslandsvatn, where the Kragerø line used to start. Nowadays there is a bus connection. Most of the buses pass Brøsjø, my railway station :-)

My summerhouse in Kragerø

 My family has a summerhouse on the beautiful south coast of Norway. I've stayed there for a few weeks every summer and it's nice to get away from the busy, polluted (but still lovely) city of Oslo.......

 You can never be certain that the weather will be fine in Norway, not even in the middle of summer. But there are always ways to chill. Read an interesting book, drink some fresh juice and fall asleep...
