Flying from Newcastle
Newcastle is the North East's primary airport and a strong Jet2 and easyJet base, with Ryanair adding budget slots and KLM offering an Amsterdam connector for global reach. The terminal sits 5 miles northwest of central Newcastle with the Tyne & Wear Metro running directly to the airport. Fare patterns favour Mediterranean leisure routes; long-haul travellers typically connect via Amsterdam, Paris or Dubai rather than fly direct.
Arriving in Crete
Heraklion Airport is 4 km east of central Heraklion, the largest city in Crete. Bus 1 runs every 15 minutes to the city centre. The May–October leisure schedule is intense; winter capacity drops sharply but doesn't disappear. Crete's size means you can fly into Heraklion (HER) or Chania (CHQ) — match the airport to your accommodation cluster to save the 2-hour cross-island drive.
