Services and amenities

Sougia is a little far from everything so the village provides the essentials needed on a holiday.

Banks: there are no banks and currently no ATM (cash point) in the village.

Telephone: there are a few public card phones in the village. Phone cards can be bought at the kiosk or in the shops.

Internet: the café Lotos and Syva have several computers with an internet connection.

Tickets: you can buy bus tickets at a small kiosk on the sea front next to where the bus stops and starts. Boat tickets are sold at a kiosk near the jetty shortly before the departure of the ferry.

And now, what you will not (yet) find in Sougia and may want to take care of before you get there:

There is no petrol station. The nearest are quite far away (Agia Irini, Kandanos and Paleohora) so do not arrive in Sougia with an empty petrol tank

There is no chemist. You can get basic over-the-counter medicines in the shops. The nearest chemists are in Kandanos and Paleochora.
