KTEL Imathias was founded in 1952 by a group of residents from the Imathia department, Greece. The initial goal was to provide reliable and affordable public transportation service to area residents. The company started with a fleet of just a few buses, serving the main cities and towns of Imathia.
Over the years, KTEL Imathias has expanded its network and fleet to meet the growing needs of the population.
