Airport guide

Chania Airport “Ioannis Daskalogiannis” (CHQ) sits on the Akrotiri peninsula, about 14 km north-east of Chania, on a plateau above Souda Bay that it shares with a Hellenic Air Force base. It is the second airport of Crete with around three million passengers a year, nearly all of them between April and October, and the gateway to western Crete: Chania’s Venetian harbour, the Platanias resort strip, the Samaria gorge and the beaches of Elafonisi and Balos.

Transport

Chania is 14 km down the hill: a fixed €30 by taxi or €2.50 on the KTEL airport bus to the city bus station. Platanias and Agia Marina are about €42 by taxi; Rethymno an hour east, usually by pre-booked transfer.

Parking

The car park is in front of the terminal, from about €3 an hour or €10 a day, with room to spare outside August. Private car parks on the Akrotiri road are cheaper for a week and shuttle you to the door.

Car rental

The rental companies have desks in the terminal and cars on lots a short walk away. Western Crete is beach-and-gorge country reached by small roads, so nearly everyone rents for the whole stay; book early for July and August and ask about gravel roads before heading for Balos.
