West Crete by Bus

Everyone knows Crete as a beach destination, and that an average of 300 days of sunshine a year means more chances to relax on the sand. As an independent visitor, who wants to do more than just lie on the beach, it can be difficult to plan a great route without knowledge of the island.

The local and regional bus services in Crete are run by regional collectives known as Kino Tamio Eispraxeon Leoforon or KTEL.

The coaches you climb on board as you explore the large island of Crete are owned by the driver and his family.

We have always found that this creates a real pride of ownership and excellent service from Cretan coaches. Of course match family pride with Cretan pride and you get superior results!

With the 10 Days in the West of Crete by Bus, you won't miss any of the historic sites, interesting towns and blissful beaches. This route will show you the relaxed tavernas and traditional food of Crete, for everyday eating and everyday pleasure.

The stunning mountains and coastlines of Crete will be at your fingertips –

  • Experience mountain scenery and remote coastal villages in southern Crete

  • Enjoy the beaches, nature and wildness of the The White Mountains

  • Save money with our accommodation tips in Chania

  • Explore the narrow laneways of the cosmopolitan and stylish Old Town of Chania

  • See the different ways to explore Samaria Gorge by bus

  • Divine Beaches! Azure, turquoise, crystal clear waters in the west of Crete

  • Extend your trip by saving money with bus travel and flexible options
