bus from Athens to messolonghi

[daleboutm]

We have to travel from Athens to Messolonghi on the 4th of March by bus at nine in the morning. I know that the bus departs from (KTEL) Kifissou street station, Terminal A.
But where can I buy the tickets for the bus. Is that possible in de bus or is there a ticket office at the bus station.
As far as I know you can not buy the tickets in Brussels yet but that is maybe only a matter of time.

Please help

You buy at the bus station before boarding. You can also get a bus direct from the airport to the bus station avoiding the rip off taxis. Stops outside the ticket office.

ticket office is across the road from the bud station. Look for the correct booth to buy from..

Some of the bus companies don't have desks inside the big ticket hall but there is a general enquiry desk in there, they will advise where to get your ticket...

I'll assume you are taking the bus to Messolonghi because your boat is in the marina there. The best way to get your ticket is to e-mail Mata your date and time and she will reserve the ticket for you. We have had it where there were no tickets available. Make sure to tell her to reserve it in your name because sometimes she does it under "marina" or something unusual.

I don't know how much luggage you will have but IMO the best transportation to the marina is the 60 euro semi-private taxi. Mata can arrange that also. They do need 4 people though to run it. Sometimes they will run with fewer and she will combine requests. Last year I was the only person in the taxi. Not a good deal for the driver but I gave him a huge tip.

If your arriving with lots of people and luggage, book a mini bus. 300 euro but worth it.

The X93 from airport to 100, Kiffousis St. The Messologgi kiosk for the coach is clearly marked, you can buy a ticket for the next departure from there.

If you're arriving @ Venizelos on an early morning flight, as has been suggested by Palarran, you can get the return taxi - €60/head, but that is no good usually after about 11:00. You'd do best to organise that through the marina office.

Regarding luggage I've had 2 hold bags and 1 cabin bag on both the return coach and the taxi.
I've never known the Messologgi coach full, even on Easter Sunday when 30% of departures were scheduled it had 2 spare seats.
It's a €5 fare from the Mesologgi coach station to the marina.
Having walked it on one occasion I'd not recommend the jaunt.
