The operator’s booking system returns €2.20 for this journey. That is the minimum bus fare set by law in Greece, and it cannot be the price of crossing to another island: Sami and Vathy are on different islands with no road between them, and the operator’s own fare certificate prices the boat separately at €14.50 to €15.40. So we are not showing a fare for this journey at all, rather than showing you a number that would be wrong. Buy the boat ticket from the ferry company, and ask the operator what the bus legs cost.
↔ 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; ? means the operator names the town but not this stop, so whether the run calls here is not something it tells us; and a blank cell means we hold nothing at all for that stop on that departure — not a denial, just no information.

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.

The operator's booking system returns €2.20, but that is the minimum bus fare set by law and cannot cover the sea crossing between the two islands. The boat is ticketed separately, at €14.50 to €15.40 on the operator's own fare certificate, so we do not show a single price for this journey.
