BUS ROUTES

In western Crete the following main bus routes are particularly useful. Times listed are a guide only, since schedules could change. Services expand during the tourist season. On all runs note any Saturday and Sunday variations.

Chania–Hora Sfakion and Anopolis

Daily, except Orthodox Easter Sunday and Monday, and Christmas Day. Departs Chania at 1400 and, going via Vrisses, serves Askifou, Imbros, Hora Sfakion (on the south coast) and terminates at Anopolis at about 1645. This bus returns from Anopolis in the early morning (see the ssss1 section) to arrive at Chania bus station by 0900.

In the tourist season there is an 0830 Chania–Hora Sfakion bus, and a return bus that waits for the boat from the Samaria Gorge at about 1800.

Note Hora Sfakion is called ‘Sfakia’ locally.

Chania–Souyia

During the tourist season, Souyia bus services run to/from Chania, Paleochora, and Elafonissi. For planning your walking day, consult the KTEL website (or the latest timetable) to see all the variables, since they are quite complicated. Basically, the timetable aims to provide visitors with access to/from the Ay. Irini Gorge and the Samaria Gorge trailheads at suitable times of day. The 0845 departure from Chania goes via Omalos Monday–Saturday (Sundays are different) and the daily 1815 departure from Souyia to Chania waits for the ferryboat (from Ay. Roumeli). The regular morning bus from Souyia to Chania (via Omalos) departs at 0700.
