I am currently planning travel to visit Samariá Gorge from Chania. I intend to start from the north at Xyloskalo and descend through the gorge and ultimately reach Agia Roumeli in the south. I've read that in Agia Roumeli you can then get a boat to Sougia, at which you can then get a bus back to Chania.

However, when I search for routes from Chania to Xyloskalo or Sougia to Chania on KTEL's (Crete's bus service) official website I keep getting "No route found for the selected locations at the selected date.", regardless of which date I select. Does anyone know why this is?

This Tripadvisor post suggests that the buses don't run in the winter as the gorge is closed - it looks like the timetables will be posted nearer to when the buses start running again.

It also suggests that there is only one bus a day to Omalos for much of the season, at 7:45. It might work out better to get an organised tour - we did one when we visited Crete a couple of years ago, and it included a coach from our hotel to Omalos, the ferry and the coach back from Chora Sfakion.
