You've selected your accommodation in Crete, decided your start and finish date and requested a 24 hour hold. The next step is to book your flights.

There are two Airports on Crete, Chania (CHQ) on the west of the island and Heraklion (HER) on the east. It takes us approximately 2 hours to drive from Heraklion to Chania along the highway, between the coast and the mountains, passing many tempting bays to drop into for a cool drink or lunch at a taverna en route. If you are in any doubt about the distance of your property from the airport, please don't hesitate to ask us.

The principal airports for flights to Chania (CHQ) are Gatwick (LGW) or Manchester (MAN)
There are flights from a wide choice of regional airports into Heraklion (HER).

If you simply want to book flights at a competitive price with as little fuss as possible, we particularly like www.1aflight.com who search a huge directory of charter and low cost airlines and undertake to offset your CO2 emissions by planting a tree sapling in woodland in North Wales (and keep it growing) for each flight booked, at no extra cost to you. For your financial peace of mind all flights booked with 1aflight.com are protected by an ATOL licence

To simplify your search you will find below direct links to enable you to search 1aflights from the most popular airports - Gatwick or Manchester.
