Use our low fare finder to discover the cheapest time to visit Chania. We fly to Chania during the summer season, from April to October.

You can enjoy everything Chania has to offer on any budget. There’s plenty to explore by foot, like the Old Town and the Venetian Harbour. Discover cheap and authentic meals such as gyros and souvlaki at the local tavernas. You can also visit the market to stock up on fresh Greek produce to take on a picnic to the beach or while you hike the surrounding forests.

Once you land in Chania International Airport, Chania’s city centre is only a short drive away. Buses run from outside the airport and take 30 minutes, or you can catch a taxi from outside the terminal for a quicker drive into the heart of the action.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to get out of the city and see more of what Crete has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

Chania is full of history and culture. Venetian and Turkish architecture sit alongside modern structures, while fresh seafood and Greek recipes will whet your appetite. Visit the Chania Archaeological Museum, which is housed in the restored Venetian Church of San Francisco and view the collection of artefacts from Neolithic to Roman times. The Mosque of Kioutsouk Hasan is one of the primary remnants of the area’s Turkish era, found in the eastern side of the Venetian Harbour. Not far out of the city you can explore Medieval castles, walk along forest paths and eat at traditional Greek tavernas.
