Ferryboat ports in Crete

Souda (for Chania)

Depending on sea conditions, overnight ferries arrive at Souda at 0600 (before dawn in autumn/winter). The bus stop for Chania (‘Han-YA’) town buses (blue and white), a circular route from the Agora, is just outside the dock gate, beside an ATM and Souda’s pleasant main square. Buy tickets for the town bus from a nearby kiosk. For journeys to Rethymnon/Heraklion, KTEL buses (buy tickets on the bus) pass along Souda’s main street, which is on the main road, at the top of the square. Note There may also be KTEL Rethymnon-direct buses waiting on the dock – this service is popular with ferryboat passengers.

Heraklion (and bus stations)

The Chania–Rethymnon and Lassithi (east) bus stations are currently combined. Facilities include a Left Luggage store, toilets and snack bars, but there are no shops nearby. For this bus station, from the ferry, turn right along the main road outside the dock gates. The frequent town bus service direct to Knossos village and archaeological site (30mins) also runs from this bus station (buy tickets at the separate kiosk). However, KTEL buses for the Mount Ida trailheads featured in this guidebook (Anoyeia, Zaros and Kamares) depart from the Chania Gate bus station, which is just outside the old city wall to the west.
