Buses & Timetables in Crete

The most inexpensive way to see Crete is by bus as tickets are affordable and there are regular departures within the region, as well as long distance from one region to another. Buses that server the longer routes are operated by KTEL and are modern buses with AC systems and very comfortable to travel with.
