By bus, step by step
- Take blue bus line 15 from the airport to the Green Bus Station. Buy your ticket before boarding if you can, as tickets bought on board can cost more.
- Change to green bus A9, the KTEL route to Paleokastritsa. The trip takes about 50 to 60 minutes.
- Stay on until the stop nearest your hotel, or the terminus for the beaches and the monastery.
When we checked the KTEL timetable, A9 left the Green Bus Station at 08:30, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00 and 19:00 daily, with extra departures on some days. Check the live A9 page on the day, because times change with the season. Do not rely on the bus for a late arrival.
Which option should you choose?
- Landing late, or carrying heavy bags: book a private transfer.
- Staying a week and wanting to see the coast: hire a car at the airport. Paleokastritsa's bays and the nearby villages are much easier with one.
- Travelling light in the daytime: the bus saves money and is simple if you do not mind the wait.
