KTEL corridor · Beaches and the south

Fira to Monolithos bus

Every published departure on the Fira ↔ Monolithos corridor, in both directions, from the current KTEL timetable. Read the two columns separately: a time under "Monolithos → Fira" is a departure from Monolithos, not an arrival.

Frequency is not stated by KTEL; the timetable is a single column per direction with no weekday, Saturday or Sunday split. KTEL prints one departure column per direction with no weekday/Saturday/Sunday split, so no day-type is claimed.

What goes wrong on this route

Seven departures each way with long gaps — nothing between 07:15 and 10:00, or between 14:00 and 17:00, from Fira [source]. The older web table has five departures and a last return at 17:10; the PDF adds 19:00 and 21:00 from Fira [source, source]. Monolithos beach sits beside the airport: KTEL groups Fira – Kamari – Monolithos – Airport on one fare row [source], but only the Fira ↔ Airport and Fira ↔ Monolithos columns are printed, so do not assume one bus serves both.

Good to know

  • Fare row "Fira – Monolithos – Exo Gonia": €2.20 ordinary; PDF panel Monolithos 2,20 € [source, source].
  • OpenStreetMap names its airport relation "KTEL Fira – Airport, Monolithos"; that is community mapping, not a KTEL publication [source].

Quick answers

Is Monolithos beach near the airport?

KTEL's fare table lists Fira – Kamari – Monolithos – Airport on a single row [source], and OpenStreetMap maps the airport relation with Monolithos in its name [source]. The published departure columns are separate: Fira ↔ Monolithos and Fira ↔ Airport [source].

What is the last bus from Monolithos?

21:10 on the KTEL PDF; the older web table's last return is 17:10 [source, source].
