Travel
Flight
Chania Airport (CHQ)
The closest airport is Chania (CHQ), which is about 45 minutes drive to the resort. It's a small airport but it has flights that come in from airports such as Athens, Berlin, Budapest, Dusseldorf Frankfurt, Glasgow, Helsinki, London, Stockholm & Vienna. Occasionally there are direct flights from Stuttgart but those are only on select days.
Flight
Heraklion Airport (HER)
The next closest airport is Heraklion (HER), which is about a 2.5 hour drive to the resort. It is the capital so it does have a few more flight options coming out of Amsterdam, Munich, & Paris.
