Refill

CHQ finally has an airside water refill, and it’s here.

Refill sits airside in Terminal T1 at Chania International, after security, and the key detail is in the name: this is one of the first confirmed spots in the airport where you can top up a reusable bottle from a proper refill station (reported by travelers in 2025). It’s a basic café and quick-bites counter, but if you land with an empty flask, this is the stop that matters before you head to your gate.

Pricing sits at the low end for a Greek airport, in the $ tier, so coffee and snacks don’t feel like a punishment compared with downtown Chania. Expect simple takeaway items rather than full plates: think pastries, packaged sandwiches, and soft drinks you can grab in under 5 minutes. You’re paying roughly kiosk prices, not sit‑down restaurant numbers, which helps on long days with multiple legs.

The water refill angle is the standout feature because SleepingInAirports only logged an airside refill point at CHQ in 2025, and Refill is tied directly to that mention. That makes this café more of a practical stop than a “nice to have.” Fill your bottle, grab a small snack, then move closer to your exact gate in T1 so you’re not stuck in a line when boarding is called.

There aren’t many detailed food reviews yet, and CHQ’s airside options in T1 stay thin, so treat Refill as your utility stop: hydration, caffeine, and something handheld before you board an Aegean or Ryanair flight. Expect typical Greek sweet pastries and basic savory items rather than anything destination‑worthy. Tip: hit Refill as soon as you clear security in T1, top off your water, then use the restroom and walk straight to your gate with everything sorted.
