Προβολή μεγαλύτερου χάρτη
The entrance to Crete is the two big airports, in Chania and Heraklion, and four harbours Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, Kissamos and Agios Nikolaos.
There are several ways to travel to Crete. One way is to fly to Athens, which is well served by international flights or alternatively arrive in Greece by ferry from Brindisi, Ancona, Bari or Venice in Italy and from there to reach Crete either by air or by boat. Also, another way is to fly direct to Crete from Europe, as during summer months direct charter flights are available.
By boat, ferries to Crete depart from Piraeus harbour, just to the south of Athens, but there are also departures from Rhodes, Kalamata and Glythio, plus some of the Cyclades islands and Kythira. Be aware that services from November to April are considerably decreased.
By air, domestic scheduled flights to Crete's airports are frequent from Athens.
