Although it looks like LGW-HER which I had heard of is summer 15, so not suitable for sept 14!
They don't seem to fly direct from AMS but they do from BRU.
As a general point that is also another good one for the OP, especially if you are going to need to travel to the airport, and want to get direct to crete. It might easier to travel to a different airport at the origin.
Other options would be to take a ferry once in greece.
