Caleia Company not providing the driver with the entry fee €45 for Greece, instead giving the drivet bulgarian currecy. Poor guy had to ask and rely on passenger to exchage the money- rather unprofessional from the company bosses.

Interesting route via Bansko and Drama which we hadn’t travelled before. Prompt departure and arrived five minutes early. Good driver, aircon adequate for the hot day. Great value.

Transporting people and transporting potatoes are two very different things.. The driver drove the bus in an extremely risky manner, not considering that there were passengers behind him for whom he was responsible. He did not respect the speed limits indicated on the road signs and on average exceeded them by about 20 km/h. There wasn't a turn where all the passengers weren't stuck left or right on the sides of the bus. There were several situations on the road where we miraculously avoided an accident. If I were this driver's employer, I would immediately fire him, and if I were a police officer, I would take away his driver's license. Sooner or later, the driver's luck will fail him, and then everyone will wonder why this happened?

Nervous driver, no space for knees and the clean bus. It was clean inside, no dusty surfaces, clear windows. Also, there were only around 15 sits taken so it was easy to breathe inside. The air-conditioning was in perfect condition and you can regulate the flow above your head which is nice. The curtains are quite thick so they protect you from the sun and hot window glass. It's not enough to buy the ticket online, you need to exchange it to a usual one at the bus station at the Kaleia company stand. Seats are super close together, even Ryanair gives more space so be aware even if you are the average height person. The driver was not in good mood from the beginning and it didn't got better. He was shouting and not happy with anything which was happening on the route. At some point there even was a cigarette smell during the driving.

good bus service bad station service. Bus was fine and ok. My complaints have nothing to do with Kaleia. The Sofia bus station announced the bus as cancelled on their departure boards the evening before. That caused a lot of search for alternatives. It took half the night to find alternatives to save the ferry in Kavala. Just to find out that the cancelation announcement was mistaken. We even bought new tickest which we couldn't return any more (Bad service from Union Ivkoni!) Bus Stop information opens at 9am (!!!), while whole lot of busses leave much earlier. Who needs an informationoffice when must buses are gone?
