As you leave the airport, take the National Road towards the direction of Agios Nikolaos (left). Continue on this road for approximately 26 Km & pass the exit to "Hersonissos". Approaching the town of Malia you will see a roundabout where you keep straight towards the direction of Agios Nikolaos. Continue for about 5 more Km and take the exit for Malia, turn left just after exiting and go across the bridge in front of you. At the end of the bridge, turn left and after 80m turn right. Continue straight ahead for another 400m and you will find Kristalli on your right-hand side.
* the exit is quite new, so it is possibly not on google-maps yet, therefore neither on GPS devices.
