↔ 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. 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 8 Nov).
Every day (confirmed to Sun 8 Nov).
The operator has published departures to Sun 8 Nov. Beyond that this page cannot tell you what runs: Greek bus operators publish a few weeks ahead, so check back nearer the time.
It varies by departure — 2 h 45 min to 3 h 11 min (From the operator's own times for each service type). The timetable above shows each departure's own time.
The published fare is around €26.60 — see the fare table for the pairs it covers.
It leaves from Athens (Kifissos, Terminal A). Note the exact terminal — cities with more than one bus station use them for different operators, and they are not interchangeable.
