What goes wrong on this route

Kamari has the densest published timetable on the island — 33 departures each way, with a 20-minute pattern printed between 16:00 and 20:00 from Fira ^[source] — which tempts people to skip checking. The last bus back is 23:15 from Kamari and the last out is 23:00 from Fira ^[source]; the older web table ends at 22:00 and 22:15 ^[source], so the late departures depend on which edition is in force. Two departures carry the note "ΣΧ" with no legend ^[source].
