48 hours in circles through Heraklion. I can only recommend it. As far as I know, the regular price is 20 euros. Here we only paid 15 euros. A tip: If you live in Amoudara, you can also use the bus to go "into town". Another tip: take it to Knossos in such a way that you can still take the bus back after the tour/guided tour. The last ride is around 4:30 p.m.

The ride and the drivers were fabulous, the only thing o was disappointed with is that, the drivers need a little more carácter, and close the doors, if the passengers don’t behave, and refuse services to anyone who disrespected them, I feel very bad, for how some tourist treat them, they should have just close the door and refused to ever let them in again. Thank you for your excellent work.

A great way to get around. The route includes a red and blue route which is not indicated on the booking site. The blue route allows those staying to the west of Heraklion to commence the journey the 7 km from the indicated start point. If going to the start point, you can use the e-voucher because the crew will take a photo of the voucher, regardless of whether it is paper or electronic.
