Crete Flights

Crete flights take around three and a half hours from the UK and direct flights are usually available in the summer season to Heraklion and Chania; otherwise your flight might arrive via Athens. Flights to Crete disembark on the largest of the Greek islands, one with many contrasts. There are large, busy cities and small charming villages; glistening beaches and huge mountains; and desert-like areas alongside very green zones.

Crete was once the centre of Minoan civilisation and, as a result, there are fascinating archaeological sites at Knossos and Phaistos, as well as an Archaeological Museum at the island's capital of Heraklion. Enjoy Crete's peculiar customs by frequenting the traditional cafés, or simply relax on one of the many beautiful beaches. There are some mesmerising landscapes to be seen, even in traversing short distances, like the Samaria Gorge, and the awesome Cretan mountains. Don't miss Chania Old Town, with its mixture of Venetian and Ottoman architectural styles, lighthouse, and former mosque.

To obtain cheap flights to Crete, use our price comparison tool to research your flights, before booking in advance to secure your seats.  A cheap flight is more likely found in the cooler months of spring and autumn as, during the high summer season, flight prices will rise. Whenever you choose to fly to Crete, however, you will find a warm welcome and much to admire. In the winter months you will need to fly via Athens.
