YOUR JOURNEY TO DAISY
There is a vast choice of summer flights from UK to Heraklion between April and October. It includes all the main tour operators as well as low cost airlines like Easyjet and Jet2. For 2010 there are direct flights to Heraklion from Belfast. In the winter, the flights to Crete are via Athens. They include Aegean Air (from Heathrow) and Olympic Airways . Alternatively, you can fly to Athens with Easyjet and use connecting flights with Aegean Air or Olympic Airways. It is a longer journey but well worth it ! Many people now use the flight comparison sites such as www.travelsupermarket.co.uk ; www.zugu.co.uk ; www.skyscanner.co.uk and others. On occasions it can be cheaper to buy a cheap holiday with Teletext and simply use the flights. I saved £40 per flight with Travel Supermarket in May 2009, by booking one way flights to Crete with two different airlines.
We recommend that on arrival at Heraklion airport, you contact the Service Managers so that they can be aware of your arrival in Crete. They can discuss with you your approximate time of arrival in Fodele. You can establish with them where the keys are to be picked up. Their landline and mobile numbers are below. Their email address is also included for general enquiries. home telephone (0030) 2810521564 mobile (0030) 6949933047 (Ken) mobile (0030) 6945645419 (Helen) email address : kengoodhead@gmail.com
If you wish to hire a car at the airport, you can also try the websites such as www.travelsupermarket.co.uk . You may have to pay up to a 15 Euro surcharge if you collect your car at the airport after 10pm, so remember to have some Euros at hand, as the office might be closed. Some car rentals also want you to bring the car back empty and therefore charge you for a full tank of petrol. They also require a credit card and a driving licence. My apologies if this is all very familiar to you. The car hire depots are literally across the road as you come out of the airport terminal .
There are always taxis available at Heraklion airport. IMPORTANT : If you get a taxi from the airport, you must ensure that they take you to Fodele VILLAGE and not to Fodele BEACH. They must take you to the far end of the village and drop you off at the village square. You then have a 100 metre journey across the bridge, to Mandarin Grove.
If you have hired a car, it is a straightforward route to Fodele.. You will firstly leave the car hire compound and turn right on to the road. Immediately ahead are traffic lights and you will turn right again. You are now heading towards the main highway and it is important that you make a further right turn following signs to Rethymon. You now stay on the main highway for about 27km. You will see a petrol station just before you reach Fodele. Turn right and follow the road for 3km into Fodele. Go right through the village until you see the village square ahead. You can safely park your car in the square. There is a small footbridge across the river and you will see the gates of Mandarin Grove ahead of you. Go up the steps or the ramp and you will find Daisy the fourth property on the right. The name is above the door.
park your car on the village square beyond the 1000 year old plane tree Once you have parked in the square you will see the bridge across the village stream . Take the 100 metre journey across this stream where you will find Mandarin Grove in front of you .
Park the car and cross the bridge. The entrance to Mandarin Grove will be in front of you Go through the main gates and you will find Daisy the fourth property on the right. Her name is above the front door. You can see that we have even arranged right turns all the way, to make the journey easy for you !
