travel information

cyclesNow the good news is that Ryanair are flying every Saturday in the season from Leeds/Bradford to Chania - and they are cheaper than the rest. This is great news if you can only take Monday to Friday holidays off work.

OK, so our guest teachers may be teaching yoga etc. from Tuesday to Tuesday, but most teachers will be happy for you to come for just part of the week. So you can arrive Saturday, join a class on Sunday, and have another teacher from Wednesday. Or why not come for two weeks and spend a few chill-out days before and after your yoga holiday? Our agents will guide you on this.

Other charter flights to Chania use other UK airports including Manchester and Gatwick, and EasyJet now fly from Gatwick to Chania. You can also fly to Heraklion: however flights can look cheaper but you need to factor in the extra cost for taxi transfers. There are approx hourly bus services you can make from both Heraklion and Chania airports – but they are both lengthy journeys: about 3 hours from Chania and over 5 hours from Heraklion.
Flights may appear expensive to Chania, that's because this area is quiet, and actually the flight price helps to keep it that way.
There are also flights via Athens and overnight ferry crossings from Athens (Piraeus) to Souda Bay near Chania.

Our agents will be delighted to advise you in making your travel arrangements, or you can start a web search with some of the links below.
