Flights to Crete
There are two airports on Crete, one at Chania and the other at Heraklion. Both are served by charter flights from the UK + the scheduled services of Jet 2 and Easyjet to Heraklion.
Charter flights to Chania - primarily operate from London Gatwick and Manchester airports with some further flights operating, from regional airports, on selected dates. Note these flights are only on Tuesdays (our usual change-over day).
NEW for 2009 – Excel Airways launch service from East Midlands Airport to Chania – see www.freedomflights.co.uk
Charter flights to Heraklion - operate on most days of the week from most UK airports.
Jet 2 scheduled services are from Leeds/Bradford to Heraklion.
Easyjet fly from London Gatwick and Manchester to Heraklion.
All of our accommodation is closest to Chania airport, typically 40 minutes drive. Our villas in the far west are approx one hour from Chania airport. Heraklion airport is in central Crete and is between 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours drive depending on the location of the villa.
Our usual change-over day is Tuesday because all charter flights from the UK to Chania airport operate on Tuesdays and only on Tuesdays.
We will consider other change-over days apart from Tuesday but we can usually only accommodate these requests out of the peak season months of July and August.
