How to get here
Why visit
Is Preveli your kind of day?
KTEL Chania–Rethymno publishes Preveli within its south-coast grid from Rethymno, with a change at Plakias in both directions. The timetable is verified, but this page keeps the stable planning fact rather than freezing clock times: choose the connection deliberately and confirm the current footnotes before travel.
A two-bus journey
The operator explicitly routes the connection through Plakias, so plan the transfer as part of the trip.
Plakias is the hinge
Missing the connection there affects both the beach visit and the return to Rethymno.
The stop is not the shoreline
Allow for a walk and confirm the current drop-off point when booking.
Practical context

- Check the latest operator grid even though the underlying route is verified.
- Leave practical margin at the Plakias change.
- Plan the return before starting the beach or monastery walk.
- This guide does not provide live departure information; use the official operator tools.
