Many visitors to Paleochora, passing through Chania, will have been pleasantly surprised, or even astounded, by the modernisation and refurbishment of the bus station there. Granted, the chaos at departure times still exists, but the waiting areas, cafeteria and toilets are now of a very high standard, so if you do miss your bus you’ll have a comfortable and relaxing time waiting for the next one. Also available is a leaflet describing locations accessible by bus services, including the Samaria Gorge, Paleochora, Falassarna … and Sougia, from where, it reads : “the ancient city of Lissos can be visited after a few minutes’ walk.”<\/p>\n
Well, not quite! More accurately, the walk over to Lissos, although less than three km from the little harbour west of Sougia, will take up to an hour and a half.<\/p>
