Unless you take a taxi or consult a street plan for the best shortcut, the easiest way to get to the Chania Gate is to walk straight down the main street, Kalokerinou, from Eleutherios Square in front of the Archaeological Museum or from just beyond (pedestrian precinct) E. Venizelos Square, with its Morosini fountain. A flight of stone steps to the right, behind the main bus station, is the most direct pedestrian route up to the centre of town – turn right at the top of the steps.

Note Mainline buses heading for Rethymnon and Chania also pick up passengers at the roadside bus stop just outside the Chania Gate. Also, if travelling to Rethymnon or Chania from Mires on the Messara, you can alight at a main road stop on the outskirts of Heraklion and then cross the busy road to pick up the next mainline service going west. This saves having to go right into Heraklion. Enquire about this when you buy your ticket, and again with the bus conductor, who will be familiar with this procedure.
