↔ Scroll the table sideways to see every stop. — means the run does not call there; · means it calls but no time is published; +1 means the following morning. A ? means we do not know. This operator’s timetable names the town rather than each stop inside it, so for the other stops in that town it neither confirms nor denies the call — and we would rather say so than guess either way.

The line joins the stops in order. It is not the road the bus takes — it is a straight chord between points, so treat it as sequence, not geometry. A hollow, dashed stop marker means the coordinate is a village centre rather than a surveyed bus bay; tap it to see where it came from.
Generated from this page’s own timetable data — every answer reads the same day-by-day calendar as the table above, so it can never say more than the page does.
It depends on the day: Mon–Sat — first 06:15, last 21:30; Sun — first 08:00, last 21:30 (confirmed to Sun 4 Oct).
Every day (confirmed to Sun 4 Oct).
The operator has published departures to Sun 4 Oct. Beyond that this page cannot tell you what runs: Greek bus operators publish a few weeks ahead, so check back nearer the time.
