Buses depart from the south side of the harbour (Akti Kountourioti) every 30 minutes, running until around midnight in summer. Tickets start at €2.10.

Good to Know
A few things worth knowing before you board.
Bring cash. Card payments are accepted on some routes but not all. Having small coins avoids issues with change.
Sunday service is severely reduced across all routes. If you need the airport on a Sunday evening, plan ahead or budget for a taxi.
Arrive at the stop 10–15 minutes early, especially in summer. Buses depart on time from the first stop but can run late along the route.
Intermediate stops have minimal or no signage. Ask the driver to let you know when your stop is coming up.
Buses fill quickly during peak summer. If a bus is full, a second one is usually sent - but expect a wait.
The KTEL ticket kiosk at Kleopatras 7 is open Monday to Friday, 08:20–15:00. Outside those hours, buy your ticket directly from the driver.
