Transportation from Chania Airport to Crete City Center
Chania “Ioannis Daskalogiannis” Airport is an international airport in the city of Chania on the island of Crete. The only public transportation option to get to the city center from here is to use the municipal buses, which are not very frequent.
In high season, these buses depart every half hour for most of the day and reach the center of Chania in approximately 30 minutes. While you can buy your ticket on the bus, you can check the times and buy a future ticket on the KTEL official website.
For this journey, your options other than the bus are taxi or private airport transfer. Many taxis are waiting for you at the taxi stand located just outside the inbound Floor B exit. You can find a taxi whenever the airport is open, and you can take the next taxi and set off. However, it is recommended that you come to an agreement on the price, or even make a small bargain, before your journey begins.
The fastest and most effortless way to get to the city center from Chania Airport is to arrange an airport transfer before you start your journey. Thus, a professional will greet you at the airport with your name in hand and you will arrive at your hotel without wasting any time, searching for an address or even touching your suitcases. You can arrange this transfer through your hotel or from a professional tour agency.
There are so many places to see in both Chania and Crete that you can rent a car from the airport and take care of both your airport transfer and your transportation to the touristic places on the island.
The best thing to do is to rent a car and go anywhere on the island in your own car, as public transport facilities are limited in the Greek islands and taxis are not budget friendly. In the terminal building, there are offices of global brands such as Hertz and Sixt, as well as local car rental companies.
