Walking
If you are in the Old Town of Chania, start from the central square (Plateia 1866). Head south towards the harbor and continue along the waterfront promenade. When you reach the lighthouse, turn left onto the road leading up to the top of the hill. Walk up the road until you see the sign for Pl. Elenas Venizelou, which will be on your right. The Eleftherios Venizelos House will be located at this address.
Bus
From your current location in Chania, head to the nearest bus stop and catch a local bus heading towards the 'Nea Chora' area. Make sure to ask the driver to notify you when you reach Pl. Elenas Venizelou. Disembark at the nearest stop and walk a short distance towards the museum, which will be clearly marked. The museum is very close, just a few minutes away on foot.
Taxi
If you prefer a quicker option, you can take a taxi from anywhere in Chania. Simply tell the driver to take you to 'Οικία - Μουσείο Ελευθερίου Βενιζέλου, Pl. Elenas Venizelou'. The ride will be brief, and the taxi will drop you off right at the entrance of the museum.
