Travel arrangements

Almyrida Villa is privately-owned and bookings for the self-catering accommodation are made directly with the owners. Travellers and holiday-makers are increasingly experiencing the benefits of making their own arrangements rather than following the traditional “package-holiday” process. Airlines and travel companies are recognising these changes and are making it much easier to book flights and make other independent travel arrangements.

Air flights:

PLEASE NOTE: we are not able to arrange air flights on your behalf but will make every effort to try and help you with your arrangements. Charter flights usually run from May to October and fly direct from major UK airports to either Chania (which is about 30 minutes from the Villa) or Heraklion (about 1½ hours). They all fly on Tuesdays. Scheduled air flights from the UK (usually BA or Olympic) all transit via Athens. They fly every day and all through the year. EasyJet fly Gatwick to Athens where you can connect to an Olympic Airways flight to Chania.

The following telephone numbers and websites are just a few suggested to help you find your way:

  • Olympic Airways: tel: 0870 606 0460
  • Mytravel: tel: 0161 828 9588
  • Monarch Airways: tel: 0870 458 2861 or 08700 40 35 35
  • Dial-a-flight: tel: 0870 333 5555
  • Just Flights: tel: 0800 3766 747
  • Skydeals: tel: 0800 093 0902
  • Excel Airways: tel: 0870 998 9898
  • EasyJet: website: www.easyjet.co.uk

Transfers:
We will arrange for you to be collected by taxi from Chania International Airport to Almyrida Villa, and return at the end of your holiday. We believe that this is the easiest way to find the Villa, rather than worrying about driving and map-reading in a new country!

Car hire:
We do not make any particular recommendations but we can provide details of local care hire companies in Almirida and Kalives who will deliver your car to the Villa at the start of your holiday. The choice of cars range from small hatchbacks to MPV’s and 4x4’s. Small motorbikes are also available and are probably best arranged when you arrive.
