Bus connections between Kalamata - Tripolis - Nafplion

The Question:

Hi Stavros!

What is the quickest way to travel from Kalamata to Nafplion? How long does it take and is this expensive?
Also I'll then be travelling from Nafplion to Athens! Again do you know how long this takes and the cost?
Finally - should I book in advance and do you know who I should book through?
Thanks!
David


The Answer:

Hi David!

Well, if you don't have your own car, the quickest way to reach Nafplion from Kalamata is with KTEL bus through Tripolis.
The first part Kalamata - Tripolis costs 7,20 E and lasts 80 minutes and the second one Tripolis - Nafplion costs 6 E and lasts 75 minutes. Please note that at Tripolis you will have to change bus.
The timetable choices that allow you to combine both parts are:
Kalamata-Tripolis: 06.00, 09.30 and 12.30 (Kalamata bus station tel. number 0030 27210 28581)
Tripolis-Nafplion: 10.00 and 14.00 (Tripolis bus station tel. number 0030 2710 222560)

From Nafplion to Athens there is also a KTEL bus almost every hour. Check the timetable online here. Ticket costs 11,80 E and the trip lasts 2,5 hours (Nafplion bus station tel. number 0030 27520 28555).

It is not common to book in advance. You can simply buy your tickets at the Ktel stations 1 hour before departure. If you prefer to secure a seat, you could ask for a telephone pre-booking at the numbers I provided you with for each station.

Hope you now have all the information you were looking for!

From Pyrgos to Kalamata by public transport

The Question:

Hello
How do I travel by public transport.. train or bus from Kyllini to Kalamata. Is it possible to get timetable of trains and buses from Pyrgos to Kalamata?

The Answer:

Hello!
In order to reach Kalamata you need to take a suburban bus (KTEL) from Pyrgos. There is also a suburban bus connecting Kyllini with Pyrgos, so as soon as you arrive at Pyrgos, you will have to change buses to reach Kalamata. There is no specific timetable since bus timetables change very often, but if you are interested in learning more, maybe it is better to call them at the Pyrgos Bus station +30 26210 22592.

Buses from Nafplion to Kalamata and Gytheion

The Question:

Hi Stavros
Is there a timetable or route map showing buses from Nafplion to Kalmata as well as Nafplion to Gythion down the coast?
Thanks!

The Answer:

Hey Lee!
Since timetables of buses change frequently in Greece, I can not tell you for sure times of departure. You can call though at the suburban buses stations though to find out exactly. The phone number of the bus station in Nafplion is +30 27520 27323.
Hope I have helped!
