The city of Chania is built on the ruins of ancient Kydonia, which according to mythology was founded by king Kydon, son of Minos.
Kydonia, up to the late 7th century A.D., was one of the most important cities of Minoan Crete and its harbour was the crossroad of three Continents.
Through the ages the city was conquered by Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Turks, Egyptians, and Arabs, until the end of the 19th century, when Crete became autonomous. Chania – as well as the rest of Crete – was liberated and united with independent Greece in 1913.
Chania’s wonderful mixture of Eastern and Western civilisations can be discovered in the alleys of the old city and the emblematic Venetian Port.
The nearest airport is Chania international airport, 10 km from the city of Chania. It is served by Aegean Airlines, Ryanair, Transavia, Easyjet, Germanwings, SAS etc. ( See more direct flights to Chania here )
The airport is served by public bus regularly. The duration of the trip to the city centre is 30 minutes and costs 2,5 euros.
The other airport is Heraklion international airport, the largest in Crete, which is located 180 km from Chania, and is served by Aegean Airlines, Austrian, Easyjet, Transavia, Germanwings, etc. From Heraklion, there is Public Bus every hour, the duration of the trip is approximately 3 hours and costs 15,10 euros.
If no convenient direct flights are available to the Cretan airports, there are many flights to the largest airport in Greece, Athens international airport. From there you can take a transfer flight to Chania Airport with Aegean Air or Ryanair.
It is well worth lookng into the cost of flights early as May is already the beginning of the tourist season. Booking well in advance can be advantageous, as can last minute deals if airlines put on extra flights to cope with demand. But there are no hard and fast rules…
You can also take the ferry from Athens (port of Piraeus) to Chania (port of Souda), using Anek Lines or Blue Star Ferries. The ship departs daily at 21:00 and arrives at Chania at 06:00. There is local bus service from the port of Souda to the city centre every 20 minutes and it costs 2 euros.
