Samothraki bus schedule in 2024

Samothraki bus schedule in 2024

Public transport is one of the ways you can use to get around Samothraki (although having a car or scooter would be better).

Local buses depart from Kamariotissa (the station is right near the port), on three main routes:

  • to Chora, the capital of the island
  • to the western and south-western villages (Alonia, Lakkoma, Profitis Ilias)
  • to the northern villages (Palaiopoli, Kariotes and Therma; in the summer the buses also reach the campsite)

Additionally, on Saturdays and Sundays throughout July and August there's a regular bus route to and from the beaches of Kipos and Pachia Ammos.

During high season, buses run every day and only Monday through Friday during the rest of the year.

You can purchase the tickets from the bus driver.

Hello! I am planning to travel to Samothraki in early October 2023, and will likely stay at the Samothraki Village Hotel. I was hoping to visit the Mikro Vouni archaeological site while I'm there (if it's open), but I won't have access to a car. Is there a way to get to the site by bus, or would taxi be my only option?

Hello
Do you know if dogs are allowed in the buses?
Which would be the schedule in July and August from Kamariotissa to Pachia Amos?
Thank you, Adrian

Hi Adrian,
I'm sorry, I don't know about the dogs. The schedule for July/August wasn't announced yet. All I can tell you (so you can get an idea) is that last year the buses for Pachia Ammos left on Saturdays and Sundays at 11.15 from Kamariotissa and returned at 17.30 from Pachia Ammos.

Hi there. We are travelling to Samothraki at the beginning of August. Are there only buses to the beaches on the weekend? Or do they also run during weekdays? Also how much would a bus cost?
InSamothraki.com
19 Jun 2023, 10:53
Hi,
The bus schedule for August wasn't announced yet, but last year the buses only went to Kipos and Pachia Ammos on the weekends. The price of a round trip ticket to the beaches will probably be around 12-13 Euro.

Hi, Thank you for the useful information, I will be visiting Samothraki in two weeks time, to get to the Sanctuary of the great gods from Kamariotissa, do I take the bus to Palaiopoli? And how much does it cost if I take a taxi?

28 Jul 2023, 19:21
Hi,
Yes, you should take the bus from the port of Kamariotissa and get down at Palaiopoli. As for the taxi - it may be around 10 Euros, but maybe you could share it with other people.

Hello,
Will the bus schedule change much after Aug 27? Or just not on Sat&Sun?

Thanks!

Most probably there will be fewer departures and the buses won't go to Kipos and Pachia Ammos

The schedule for that date isn't published yet, but most probably there will be a bus around 20-21 o'clock.

I am very disappointed from your service.
My tent was forgotten at the bus, as i went back an hour later, the bus driver tokd me he found the tent and throw it in the street what led it to be stolen - paying for a ticket holds a bit more then just drive around - it shows how low professionality is in the island and how low care are the services in it.
It is very sad to get such a poor experience in what calls it self a camper friendly island

Yes, they will be running. You'll find the schedule here starting from tomorrow.

It will leave from Kamariotissa at 13.20 and in about 25 minutes it will be at the free camp.

I'm sorry, on weekends the buses only go up to Therma. During the rest of the week some of them may go further.
