Transport connections to the island of Crete are excellent. Throughout the year, Crete is connected to Athens and therefore the rest of the world, by around 15 flights a day to the two airports on the island at Chania and Heraklion. Between April and October, over a hundred charter flights each week connect the island directly with the whole of Europe. Charter flights can be booked at numerous sites on the internet – just type “Crete flights” into Google and away you go! The domestic carriers are Olympic and Aegean Airlines who have connections to almost all major European cities.
