How do I get to the beaches by bus in Crete?

Major beaches near towns (Matala, Elafonissi) are served by KTEL in summer; remote beaches like Balos have no direct bus and need a car or boat.

Are there night buses in Crete?

KTEL service is daytime; last departures on most routes are around 21:00, with more frequent runs in summer (May–October).

Which company runs the buses in Crete?

Two KTEL operators: Heraklion-Lasithi covers east and central Crete, Chania-Rethymno covers the west.
