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.

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.
