Hello! I will be visiting Crete in September with my boyfriend, we are planning to stay in Chania. We will not be renting a car, because I do not have a driving license and my boyfriend hardly ever drives, so we decided that it would end badly. That's why we want to travel the island using buses.
We checked out KTEL buses and we saw that they have bus stops almot everywhere. Right now the timetable does not show the routes that will operate in September. We will be there from 18 to 28 of September, so we are a little bit worried that this will no longer be considered "high season", therefore we won't be able to reach the places we want to visit, like Samaria Gorge, Balos Lagoon, Elafonisi Beach, Seitan Limania, Katholiko Bay and Katholiko Monastery, Lake Kournas, Falassarna Beach, Imbros Gorge, Gavdos, Loutro, Preveli Beach.
Do you maybe know, how can we check for certain if we will be able to get to those places in late September by bus, without any problems? Perhaps you have some timetables from 2025? Or have you been traveling by bus in September? We don't want to buy plane ticket before we know for sure that we will be able to travel freely.
We will appreciate any information<3
