Plan your Crete trip before you land — and keep the whole island in your pocket when the signal drops. WHAT YOU GET TODAY • Heraklion city buses: 22 lines offline — the airport, the port, Knossos, Amoudara and the whole urban network, every departure from the operator's own published timetable • Chania city buses: 12 lines offline — the city, Souda, the beaches • The complete Crete map, stored offline on your phone — Heraklion to Chania, Elafonisi to Sitia, plus Gavdos • Curated places and hand-picked trip ideas — Knossos, Samaria Gorge, Balos, Spinalonga and more, searchable without GPS or signal • Built for pre-trip planning: explore from home, arrive knowing your way around WHAT'S COMING Intercity bus timetables are being added corridor by corridor, straight from the official KTEL timetables (Heraklion–Lasithi and Chania–Rethymno), each one verified before it appears. We never invent schedules: if a route isn't in the app yet, we say so — a real bus may well run there. HONEST BY DESIGN Crete Bus is an independent travel app. It is not affiliated with KTEL and does not sell tickets. No live tracking. No account required. FREE AND PAID Exploring the island map and curated places works without an upgrade. Optional passes (7-day, 30-day, lifetime) unlock the full map experience and support an independent app as bus coverage grows.
