Hi Sally, can't comment on getting a taxi, but I can tell you, you will not be able to walk it!!! The pier is far below the center of town or where the hotels are located. There is a very short, extremely steep road that should only take a few min. by car. We saw a few people walking it (no bags or luggage), but it looks treacherous. Very steep, curvy, with cars and buses flying by. All the hotels are up on the hill, I can't imagine taxi's won't go there.
