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.

What the current sources publish

These facts come from the project source ledger; the operator publication remains the final reference.

Nine Fira corridors

The current publication lists nine destination-named corridors from Fira rather than public route numbers.

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.

  1. Choose the destination-named corridor; do not look for an invented route number.
  2. Read the “from Fira” list for the outward journey and the destination list for the return journey.
  3. If you change buses in Fira, allow your own margin because the published sources do not guarantee connections.
  4. Recheck the operator publication on the day of travel, especially near a seasonal change.

Watch: finding and reading the KTEL timetable

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.
