train timetable

[roger]

Can anyone who has been to plakias recently provide any information on the train timetable this year ? In particular what are the times between plakias and damnoni ? I am also interested in whether  there is still a trip to myrrthios every evening , whether there are sometimes trains to sudha beach , and when and where the longer distance day excursions go
A full timetable would be great but any info very useful
And if no one has this information can someone going in the near future provide it
Many thanks

Unfortunately I haven't brought a timetable for the Alianthos Express.
But when we had dinner at the Panorama Taverna in Mirthios the train passed by two times.

Hi, Just returned from Plakias 21st June, GREAT time!
Alianthos Express time table: (Available from the stop opposite the Forum)
Mirthios every evening, leaves at 19.00, returm leaves Mirthios at 22.00, but this is a later timetable, when we were there it left at 21.30. 5€ return.

Monday AND Friday - Donkey Sanctuary 10.00 from Plakias, then on to Damnoni, return at 13.45. 10€
Tuesday AND Sunday - Back and forth to Damnoni and Souda Bay a couple of times each way, 5€ Return, but check with the driver what time you are returning, he will come and pick you up, possibly in his own car if low numbers don't warrant the use of the Train.
Wednesday - Preveli Monastery, 10.00 Plakias, Return at 16.00, 15€, Lunch at Taverna Stelios in Lefkogia, not included in fare, but 1 litre of wine is 4€, and an Ouzo 1€, who needs to eat?
Thursday - Walks and villages, Plakias @ 10.00, return @16.00, 15€. Kotsigou Gorge walk, lunch in Taverna by gorge
Saturday- Kourtaliotis Gorge and waterfalls, Museum of Papa Michali in Asomatos. Lunch in Lefkogia.

We did the Mirthios evening and the Preveli Monastery, an excellent way to see, smell and touch the countryside, nearly wore out the video camera! At about 15Mph gives you time to appreciate it all.
Great Place but see my later posting about the NIGHTMARE Olympic transfers to and from Heraklion airport

I am sat here in Forum Bar and was going to report this, but I see JBMouse has just beaten me to it.

I think the return from Myrthios is from Myrthios at 21:30, arriving in Plakias at 22:00.
