Back to newsAirfare to Crete this summer is significantly more expensive than in recent years, with airlines pulling promotional deals and discount fares from sale. Travelers planning trips between June and August should expect higher ticket prices across most European routes serving Heraklion and Chania airports. The situation is partly linked to broader fuel cost pressures, including uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor, which affects aviation fuel supply chains. Tourists who have not yet booked flights are advised to secure seats as soon as possible, as prices are unlikely to drop closer to the travel date. Budget carriers in particular have reduced the number of discounted seats available. Booking early and considering shoulder-season travel in May or late September remains the most practical way to reduce costs when planning a visit to Crete this year.
