Not published. This operator does not print a fare for this route. That is not the same as free, and we will not invent a number — buy from the driver or the operator’s own site.

Kounopetra is not on this map. The bus calls there, but we have no position we trust for it — and a pin in the wrong place would be worse than none. The line below therefore runs straight past that stop.
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.
