How to read the table
Pick an origin in the first column and a destination along the top. Kilometres are routed road distance. Minutes are the router’s driving-time estimate under ordinary conditions. They are not a promise of your transfer duration; published fares are not calculated from these numbers. For money, use the fare table.
What usually surprises people
Pollonia is a longer hop from the airport than Plaka is, even though both are “on the island”. South-coast beaches are a different direction from the north-coast postcard stops. Klima is close in kilometres and slower in feel because of the hill. Papafragas sits on the Pollonia road, which is why it appears as a stop rather than a safari.
What a car cannot do
Kleftiko and Sykia are missing as driving destinations because a road does not reach them. Budget a boat day, and a harbour transfer if you need one. Tsigrado’s row is the car park, not the sand.
