Back to newsAn elderly woman left a bag containing 30,000 euros on bus route 856 in Crete without realizing it. The bag was discovered after she disembarked, and the incident highlights both the honesty of local public transport staff and the importance of keeping valuables secure while traveling.
Tourists using Crete's public bus network (KTEL) are reminded to always check their belongings before leaving any vehicle. Bags, cameras, passports, and cash can easily be left behind, especially on longer routes between cities. If you do forget an item on a bus, contact the local KTEL office immediately, as lost property is generally handed in by drivers and staff. Keep valuables in a secure bag worn close to the body, and avoid carrying large amounts of cash when using public transportation across the island.
