Chania Launches Summer Shuttle Service to Reduce Traffic

Monday, 6 July 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

The Municipality of Chania has launched an expanded shuttle bus service connecting peripheral parking areas to the city center, running from July 6 through September 15, 2026. The service is operated in partnership with the Urban KTEL Chania bus network. Visitors driving to Chania are encouraged to use the designated outer parking lots and take the shuttle into town, helping reduce traffic and parking congestion in the historic center during the busy summer season. This park-and-ride system offers a practical alternative to searching for parking in the old town, which can be difficult and time-consuming in peak months. Tourists planning a day in Chania should look for signposted peripheral parking zones on the city outskirts and follow shuttle departure times published by the municipality and KTEL Chania.
