Crete Flights: Solid Foods OK, Liquids Limited to 100ml

Saturday, 4 July 2026/Source: Flashnews/1 min read

When flying to or from Crete, knowing what food items are allowed on board can save you time and frustration at security. As a general rule, solid foods such as packaged snacks, bread, cheese, and fruit are permitted in carry-on luggage. Liquid or semi-liquid foods, including yogurt, honey, olive oil, and jams, must comply with the 100ml per container limit and fit within a single transparent resealable bag. These restrictions apply across European airports, including Heraklion and Chania. If you plan to bring home local Cretan specialties such as thyme honey, extra virgin olive oil, or graviera cheese, opt for sealed packages under 100ml for carry-on, or pack larger quantities in checked baggage. Always check your specific airline's policy before travel, as rules can vary slightly by carrier and destination country.
