Note that on both of these buses you must validate your ticket in the ticket-punching machine as soon as you board.

The journey takes 3 - 4 hours and bus stops include the Corinth Canal, Argos, Astros and Aghios Andreas. the bus will usually let passengers off wherever they request so there may be multiple stops at some towns.

Note that the bus journey does not always include a stop for toilet breaks and although there may be a toilet on the bus it is often kept locked - so perhaps best not to drink too many coffees before your journey!
