LUGGit: luggage pickup and delivery in Chania
LUGGit works differently from lockers or storage shops. A LUGGit Keeper (Driver) comes to you - at the airport, your hotel, or anywhere in the Chania area. They pick up your bags, store them securely, and deliver them back when and where you need them.
This is especially useful in Chania because the airport is 14 km from town. Instead of dragging your bags on the bus and then finding a locker, you can hand them to a Keeper (Driver) right at the airport and get them back at your hotel later - or at the port if you are catching a ferry.
- Price - from €2/bag
- How it works - book online, a Keeper (Driver) meets you at your location
- Insurance - €1,200 per bag included
- Hours - flexible, based on your schedule
- Delivery - bags returned to any location in Chania (airport, hotel, Souda port)

Why there is no luggage storage at Chania Airport
Chania Airport (Ioannis Daskalogiannis, IATA: CHQ) is a smaller regional airport that primarily handles seasonal charter flights and domestic connections. Unlike larger Greek airports, it does not have a staffed left luggage counter or automated lockers inside the terminal. If you need to store bags, you will need to head into Chania town first.
This is why LUGGit's pickup service is particularly useful here - a Keeper (Driver) can meet you directly outside the arrivals hall, so you do not need to carry your bags into town just to find a locker.
Getting from Chania Airport to the city center
Chania Airport is 14 km northeast of the city center - further than most Greek island airports.
- Bus - KTEL buses run from outside the terminal to Chania town KTEL station. The journey takes about 25 to 30 minutes with several stops. Check schedules at the KTEL kiosk outside arrivals
- Taxi - approximately €23 to Chania town center. Taxis are available 24/7 outside the arrivals hall. The journey takes about 20 minutes depending on traffic
- Car rental - all major agencies have desks at the airport. Recommended if you plan to explore western Crete, Samaria Gorge, or Elafonisi beach
Practical tips for luggage storage in Chania
- No storage at the airport - plan ahead and book LUGGit or a city center service before you land
- Old town walks - Chania's Venetian harbor and old town are best explored on foot. Drop your bags before heading in - the narrow alleys are not suitcase-friendly
- Samaria Gorge day trip - if you are hiking the gorge, you absolutely cannot bring luggage. Store your bags in town or have LUGGit hold them while you hike
- Souda port ferries - the ferry port is at Souda, about 7 km east of Chania. LUGGit can deliver your bags directly to the port
- Book storage in advance in July and August - Chania is one of the most popular destinations in Crete during peak season
