Athens, on the mainland of Greece, is 4,000km from Faro!
There are no direct flights from Faro to anywhere even remotely near Crete so my thought is that you would have first make your way to Lisbon, fly from there perhaps to Athens by some means and then by whatever means (plane, ferry) to Crete.
According to the Lisbon airport website there are no direct flights between Lisbon and Athens. You would have to find flights to Athens or Heraklion (Crete) via for example Rome (Easyjet and TAP fly between Lisbon and Rome) or some other large city in Europe.
You would have to research elsewhere which airlines fly to Heraklion airport on Crete

I have checked Air Berlin for a through route from Faro but the flights do not tie up.
