Peak Season:

Easter is when tourists start to visit Crete, although the climate is ideal for visiting most of the year. April through to October is the main peak season, with big crowds of tourists booking flights to Crete then. Accommodation is also more expensive so make sure to book that and your flights as early as you can to get discounts. Late spring time and early summer are the best times to visit, with the weather not being too hot and cheap flights to Crete more available. It also means the beaches are less crowded and the weather isn’t too hot that you can’t do hiking activities.

Off Season:

Although the island is popular most of the year, from late October until April is when you’ll find the cheapest flights to Crete. It also has a magical feeling to it as less tourists visit and you can find yourself wondering a beach with very few crowds. Temperatures gradually decrease as winter creeps in, although if you bring a jacket you shouldn’t feel a chill too much except for early morning and late at night. The cheapest flights to Crete are available over the winter and with ideal temperatures makes Crete a great option for some winter sun.

Due to the year round popularity of Crete, cheap flight tickets are more difficult to come by. However if you book in advance you can find great deals and cheap flights to Crete. During the winter is when you’ll find the cheapest flights deals to Crete, but if you want to visit during the summer, especially if there are festivals and celebrations on, make sure to book at least a month in advance.

Which airlines operate flights to Crete?

Ryanair, Jet2, Thompson and British Airways all operate flights to Crete, with Ryanair primarily the cheapest of the lot. Jet2 also offer competitive prices on flights to Crete, but Ryanair dominate as a budget airline. However, during the summer Ryanair also charge excessive prices for checked in luggage, meaning you’ll be paying a premium for a low allowance. Bare that in mind when booking your flights to Crete and compare a couple of different airlines together to find the best price for your flight tickets.

How to get from the airport to the city centre?

One of the most convenient ways to get to the city is to jump on one of the many public buses from the airport. Bus number 78 goes straight from Heraklion airport to the city, and shuttles run as frequently as every few minutes for most of the day. You can also opt to get a taxi from outside the airport, although this will be pricey compared to the bus. That said, if there are a few of you travelling that can split the fare, a taxi can be a great choice to quickly get to your hotel. You could also hire a car from the airport, although unless you plan on driving around the different towns Crete has to offer then this could be more of a burden than helpful.
