P1 Short Term

One-minute walk from T1, basically right outside the door

P1 Short Term sits directly in front of Chania Airport’s T1 terminal, about a 1-minute walk from the departures entrance. It’s the official on-airport short-stay lot, so you park on airport property and walk straight across to the building. CHQ is a compact airport, so P1 really is “park and go” without shuttles or long walks.

This is the lot people use for quick drop-offs, pick-ups, or short visits where you want your car close to T1. The airport itself is small and you’re usually in and out of the terminal quickly, which lines up well with short-term parking right at the front. If you’re meeting arriving passengers, P1 keeps you a 1-minute walk from the arrivals exit doors.

P1 Short Term operates whenever flights run at CHQ, effectively matching the airport’s daily schedule for T1. Signage at the terminal access road points you straight into the official short-term area, so you enter via the main airport road and follow the P1 markings. Payment machines sit near the pedestrian exit so you can pay as you walk back from the terminal.

• Type: Official airport short-term lot in front of T1
• Walk time: ~1 minute to terminal doors
• Best use: Drop-offs, pick-ups, very short stays at CHQ

There aren’t many detailed public reports on pricing or capacity, so treat P1 as a pay-what-it-is, last-minute option for CHQ. One practical move: snap a quick photo of your car and the nearest P1 sign when you park, so finding the exact row again after a fast turn in T1 stays painless.
