Travel Tips

You will enjoy the best climate between April and October.

PLANE FROM THE US:
The old fashion, but  established  commercial airliner is still the easiest, cheapest and fastest  way to get to our island. To safe some real bucks, you should  plan to leave from New York where you can find some real bargains to Athens ( $400 for adults, kids usually pay 75%, round trip) , depending of course on the time of the season.  Flight time to Athens is  approximately 10 hours.                                                                                                                                               

CHANIA TO OUR HOUSE:
A public bus is available, but only recommended for the adventurous traveler (little luggage, durable kids). It's cheap but takes about 5 hours to reach us. A taxi is most convenient, but expensive ($40-$60).
Renting a car is the most recommended, a reservation  from the States will help to get a good deal  (small 4-door  $70/week  free mileage). Travel time is approximately 2 1/2 hours.

PLANE FROM EUROPE:
