Transport in Crete

Transport in Crete has undergone significant changes in the past two decades, vastly modernizing the country's infrastructure. Although ferry transport between islands remains the prominent method of transport between the nations islands, improvements to the road infrastructure, rail, urban transport, and airports have all led to a vast improvement in transportation. These upgrades have played a key role in supporting Greece's economy, which in the past decade has come to rely heavily on the construction industry.

Intercity and regional bus transport
KTEL is the common name for every company which is responsible for intercity and regional bus transit. Each prefecture, though, has its own regional network of buses, but they are named as "KTEL".
