Book a transfer from Chania Airport (CHQ) to Chania — from western Crete's international airport to one of Greece's most beautiful cities: an enchanting Venetian harbor town of pastel palaces, Ottoman mosques, and a labyrinthine old quarter that rivals anything in the Greek islands.
The 14 km journey takes 20 to 30 minutes heading west along the coastal road, with views of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) and glimpses of the turquoise Cretan Sea before arriving at the old harbor.
Chania is widely considered Crete's most beautiful city — a captivating blend of Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek heritage wrapped around one of the most photogenic harbors in the Mediterranean. The Venetian Harbor, with its iconic Egyptian lighthouse (one of the oldest in the world), the domed Mosque of the Janissaries, and the row of colorful waterfront restaurants, is the heart and soul of the city. The old town behind the harbor is a maze of narrow lanes lined with Venetian mansions, Ottoman fountains, artisan workshops, and atmospheric tavernas serving the best of Cretan cuisine. The Maritime Museum in the Venetian fortress, the Archaeological Museum in a former Franciscan monastery, and the covered Agora (municipal market) add cultural depth. Nearby, the Samaria Gorge — Europe's longest gorge — offers an unforgettable 16 km hike, and the pink sand beach of Elafonisi and the turquoise lagoon of Balos are among Greece's finest beaches.
