We want to express our gratitude to all of our guests willing to take such a significant trip. We know flights are long and expensive, so please spend a little time reading through these tips for lowering costs and building in time to rest between flights.

Traveling from a larger airport typically lowers the cost of your trip. For example, check out flights from LAX instead of San Diego. We also recommend exploring Black Friday deals for your upcoming airfare purchase.

Unfortunately, there are no direct flights from the US to Crete. Generally, travelers book flights to a major European city, such as London, and then fly directly to Crete. We encourage you to look at multiple connecting flight options for the best price.

This journey can take a full day (around 24 hours of travel), so, if you have the time, you may prefer to build in a long layover that will allow you to stay the night at a hotel in London, for example, before flying to Crete.

There are two airports in Crete: Heraklion or Chania. Each is about the same distance from the town of Rethymno, where our venue is located (approximately one hour by bus or car). We recommend inputting each one as a destination, as the price might shift depending on your starting airport.

Please note that, due to the time difference between California and Greece, even with the fastest possible flight options, you will need to leave the West Coast on May 17 in order to arrive on May 19, one day before the wedding.

We are happy to assist you with your booking however we can. Feel free to reach out to Michaela at 805-286-5904!
