Crete has two international airports, in Heraklion (HER) and Chania (CHQ). Public bus, Olympic Airways bus and taxi services into the cities are available. Airport facilities include a cafeteria and a duty-free shop. The airport of Sitia (JSH), which is located to the eastern end of Crete, serves mainly domestic flights during the summer season. It is now further developed in order to serve international charters flights in the area of eastern Crete. If you like to visit the region of Sfakia, we can recommend the airport of Chania (tel. 28210-63219). It is new and small and much more close to Sfakia than Heraklion. Checking out and checking in is very quickly, since there are not too many planes arriving and going. |
