Most charterers do not want to sit in front of a computer and check their e-mail. However, some of us cannot afford this luxury, and have to check our email a couple of times.

Here are the places where you can do just that: the "cyber-cafes" and wi-fi access points in the most popular charter areas.

In order to update the database and make everyone benefit, please send us information about a cyber-café or wi-fi access (please indicate the rate per hour or minute).
