How the days could look
An editorial idea to adapt to your dates. Confirm travel connections and availability before booking.
Before arrival
Choose the base and confirm the journey
Stay in Crete and consider one island day only when both crossings and the timings work. Begin with arrival and departure times, then check how you will reach your stay.
Your day out
Heraklion & Santorini
Confirm outward and return transport on the same date, then choose what fits between them. Keep an alternative at your base if the connection changes.
The return
Leave time for the way home
Confirm the route to your departure airport or port. Keep a buffer before a flight, and consider a mainland night if an island connection would be too tight.
Before you book
- Check arrival and departure times before dividing your days.
- Confirm every connection for the date you plan to travel.
- Allow a buffer before flights and read the supplier's booking conditions.
