On our recent visit to Chania we caught the Chania Sightseeing Tours double decker (hop on/hop off) bus from outside the bus station on Kidonias Ave (near the southern end of 1866 Square). For 15 euro each you get a tour of the area plus the bus drops you off (i.e. stop No.9) at the end of the street leading to the cemetery, which from there is only a 200 to 300 metre walk. The bus runs about every 40 minutes so you need to time your visit to coincide with the timetable. You have to cross the busy drop off road when arriving and leaving so be careful. It is a little bit more expensive but we found this was a very convenient and hassle free way of getting to the cemetery. I also looked up Google maps before hand to orientate myself on the cemetery location.
A tip: after leaving the Venizelos Graves site (i.e. stop No.8) sit on the left hand side of the bus as you will have a magnificent birds eye view overlooking the cemetery as you come down the hill.
