Private Jet Vancouver to Crete

The flight from Vancouver to Heraklion covers about 6,520 miles and takes around 11 hours, a long non-stop journey that suits an ultra-long range jet. Departing from Pearson Field, travellers make their way to Crete, the largest of the Greek islands. Heraklion International Airport lies on the island’s north coast, and the nearby ruins of Knossos mark the palace associated with the Minoan civilisation of the Bronze Age. Many visitors come for these archaeological sites, while others head into the White Mountains to walk the Samaria Gorge. Vancouver sits on the north bank of the Columbia River, across from Portland, Oregon, and is home to Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, which recalls the fur trade era of the Pacific Northwest. The two places offer very different pleasures, one rooted in ancient history and the other in river and forest scenery.
