Flights to Chania area

Holidays to Greece are all about sun-bleached beaches, historical sights and mouth-watering Mediterranean cuisine. When you book international flights to the Chania Area of Crete, which perches on the north western coast of the island, you get all three in equal measure. You can travel on our direct flights to the Chania Area from three different UK airports. These include London Gatwick, Manchester and Bristol Airport. When you touch down in Chania, you’ll be spoilt for choice with things to see and do. Once you’ve settled in to your hotel, you can get out and about to explore the area. Start at the picturesque Venetian old town – it’s a must-see for any visitor. This maze of cobbled streets funnels out to a shimmering harbour, and it houses a maritime history museum, a former Turkish mosque with a big sphere-shaped dome and the 16th-century Firkas Fortress. Not to mention a wide range of craft shops, and lively restaurants and bars that showcase Cretan fare. Here, adults can brave a sip of the eye-wateringly strong local spirit – tsikoudia – in the street side tavernas. Daytrips offer up lots of other things to do around Chania, too. Our top pick is the uninhabited island of Elafonisi – it’s ringed by pink-tinted beaches and aqua-blue waters. Then, there’s the Gouverneto Monastery, a castle-like landmark tucked into the hillside. The Samaria Gorge, meanwhile, comes with 16 kilometres’ worth of scenic hiking routes, surrounded by rocky cliff-faces, thick pine forests and trickling streams.
