Back to newsCrete's two regional bus operators, KTEL Heraklion-Lassithi and KTEL Chania-Rethymno, have submitted a joint bid in the official government tender to operate public bus routes across the island. The tender covers intercity and regional bus lines that connect Crete's main cities, towns, and tourist areas. By presenting a unified offer, the two companies are signaling a coordinated approach to managing the island's public transport network. For tourists, KTEL buses remain one of the most affordable ways to travel between Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos, as well as reaching smaller villages and beaches. The outcome of this tender may determine how routes are structured and operated in the coming years. Travelers relying on public transport during their visit should check current schedules at local KTEL stations, as route details may evolve depending on the tender result.
