Route notes
Why this routing works
This two-week economy itinerary uses an open-jaw structure on Crete, arriving in Heraklion and departing from Chania after an overland segment. That setup avoids backtracking on the island and makes the Greece portion easier to sequence before continuing to Cyprus.
From Chania, the routing continues to Larnaca and then returns to Nashville. With only three flight stops beyond the origin, this is a compact multi-stop ticket that keeps the order straightforward while still covering two countries in one trip.
Timing this route in May fits a short shoulder-season window and works well for travelers trying to keep a two-week plan efficient. As a multi-stop itinerary rather than separate round-trips, the ticketing is structured around the full sequence: Nashville, Heraklion, Chania, Larnaca, and back to Nashville.
