All long-distance buses, on the mainland and the islands, are operated by regional collectives known as KTEL. It is the Greek transport company that provides inter-city transport to passengers via buses.

Every prefecture on the mainland has a KTEL, which operates local services within the prefecture and to the main towns of other prefectures. KTEL buses are safe, modern, and, on the major routes, air-conditioned.
