About the airport:
Chania airport is Crete’s second largest and is situated about a 20 minute drive and 14 kilometres from Chania City. Domestic flights from Athens and Thessaloniki are available travelling with Aegean Airlines and Olympic air. Cars can be rented straight from the airport. 

About Chania:
Chania is home to the Venetian Harbour and is famous for this old port and cobbled shopping streets. Chania is a beautiful city to visit with much of it clustered around the harbour. The atmosphere has been compared to that of Florence and Venice in Italy. It is also possible to take your rental car to the south of the island where you will see the rugged coves and cliff lined coast. 

Travelling Around Crete:
Driving is by far the best option for seeing what Chania has to offer, with buses from the airport being virtually non-existent.  It is recommended to keep to the main highways when travelling around the island, away from these some of the roads can be narrow and winding. When travelling from the airport a pleasant stop before reaching Chania is in Souda.
