Iam wanting to get from Corfu to Meteroa then from there to Delphi and onto Athens.
I have been reading previous posts about buses and trains and was wondering if you could possibly give me all the bus times for the trip of Igomenitsa to Ioannina (ie all 8 per day times), Ioannna to Kalambaka (ie all 7 per day times) and then the best and cheapest way to get from Meteroa to Delphi in a day and all the train and bus times for that as well.
Sorry to ask for all of them..l have just noted that you always give starting time only on this website and l actually need all the times if possible. I will be travelling in mid July if that makes a difference with the timetables. If there is a particular website l can look up train and bus timetables online would you mind sending me that as well.
I have also heard that you can get tourist cards for 10 days travel for 43 euro for unlimited number of travels on every route served by the railway Hellenic railways (2nd class) and CH buses. Do you know if such a pass still exists and would such a pass cover the buses and trains l would be wanting to take?
Thanks so much!!
ANSWER: Yiasou Emily, thankyou for the question,
I do not have all the times at the moment, but let me check and get back to you in a another day or so...perhaps I can find them somewhere.

QUESTION: Hey Denny....just wondering if you were able to find those timetables anywhere. Also can you tell me if the 10 day travel pass for 43 Euro still exists? See quesion above. many thanks!!
Answer Yiasou Emily, Thanks for the reminder ... couldn't find the original e-mail ...
BUS leaves for IOANNINA at 6:30 AM ... and then every 90-minutes...IE: 6:30 - 8:00 - 9:30 - 11:00 - 12:30pm - 2:pm -
3:30 - (a break) - 6:30pm and 8PM ...(8-eu about)
IOANNINA to KALAMBAKA ...3-per day ... 8:30 - 11:30 2:30.
3-hr trip about 9-euro.
KALAMBAKA to LAMIA (on the bus to Athens) 7:AM and aproximately every 2-hours thereafter. 3-hrs...about 10-euro.
LAMIA to DELPHI ... 2-hrs ...M-Sat ...3-per ... 10:40AM
12:45PM - 7PM ... SUN: just the last 2-go. (about 7:euro)
The tourist card is indeed still in existance ... but I believe it is 45-euro on the CH BUS routes. The trains are presently going thru alot of changes and I am not sure of anything except they still run from Athens to Patra (change at Corinth) and Athens and the NORTH...Lamia & Thessaloniki...
Check with the tourist agencies in Athens (Syndagma area) for those BUS/TRAIN CARDS (also check at the airport when you enter the country at the info station).
