Before you land

The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.

  • Easy to get wrong

    This is a genuine direct bus — no change in Chania town. Five departures a day, and the fare is by distance along it: €2.20 to Souda, €5.60 to Georgioupolis, €6.10 to Kavros and €8.80 through to Rethymno.

  • Status

    Unlike the Chania corridor, which runs the same every day, this one has a separate timetable for each day of the week, and individual departures are cancelled or added on single named dates inside the month — one is marked not valid on 22 September and another valid only on the 24th.

  • Easy to get wrong

    The two ends of the route are answered by different telephone numbers, Chania and Rethymno, which is worth knowing before ringing about a bus that has not turned up.
