Good to know

Build the day around a specific departure in each direction.

  • Weekend options are thinner than weekday service.
  • The published early weekday departure can suit an onward morning plan, but verify it before relying on it.
  • Services marked via Alambra or Choirokoitia can take a less direct path.
