Nine Fira corridors
The current publication lists nine destination-named corridors from Fira rather than public route numbers.
Current official publication
Santorini KTEL timetable and current PDF
The current KTEL publication is organised around departures from Fira and separate departures back from each destination. Open the official PDF for the actual time you plan to travel.
The direct answer
Use the official KTEL PDF linked below for current departure times. It was source-dated 14 July 2026 when this independent guide was checked on 25 July 2026. Times can change with the season, and KTEL does not publish a complete validity calendar on the sources checked.

Keep the checked schedule offline
Keep this source-checked timetable on your phone for quick offline checks. Recheck the official source before travel; the app does not promise live updates.
What the current sources publish
These facts come from the project source ledger; the operator publication remains the final reference.
Two directional lists
One column lists departures from Fira; the paired return column lists departures from the destination, not arrival times.
PDF newer than the web table
The PDF was dated 14 July 2026 when checked; the replacement web routes page says it was updated 18 May 2026.
How to read the timetable
Treat each direction and every change in Fira as a separate planning decision.
- Choose the destination-named corridor; do not look for an invented route number.
- Read the “from Fira” list for the outward journey and the destination list for the return journey.
- If you change buses in Fira, allow your own margin because the published sources do not guarantee connections.
- Recheck the operator publication on the day of travel, especially near a seasonal change.
Watch: finding and reading the KTEL timetable
This short video shows where the printed KTEL timetables are posted around the island and how the from-Fira and return columns work — the same reading order described above.
Corridors in the current publication
This is a corridor list, not a stop-by-stop timetable. The official sources checked do not provide a reusable stop sequence.
- Fira ↔ Santorini Airport A current two-direction corridor. Airport-specific boarding and ticket guidance comes from Fraport Greece.
- Fira ↔ Akrotiri A current corridor published in both directional tables. The fare page distinguishes village and beach journeys.
- Fira ↔ Firostefani / Imerovigli The official PDF publishes outbound departures from Fira and return departures from Firostefani–Imerovigli.
- Fira ↔ Kamari A current directional corridor between the Fira hub and Kamari.
- Fira ↔ Monolithos A current directional corridor. No official stop sequence is claimed by this guide.
- Fira ↔ Oia A current directional corridor between the Fira hub and Oia.
- Fira ↔ Perissa A current directional corridor. Some official timetable entries carry unexplained raw annotations, so this guide does not interpret them.
- Fira ↔ Vlychada The corridor is published, but the newer timetable PDF and the fare page disagree on its fare.
- Fira ↔ Vourvoulos A current directional corridor with a limited set of published departures.
Why times are not copied into this page
The operator PDF is mutable and seasonal. Copying its rows here would create a second version that could become stale, so this page sends you to the current source and explains how to read it.
