Arrive at FCO how early for 7:40 flight (to Chania, Crete) July 1

I was going to arrive at 6:20am, but is this too late? Have carry-on bag, would have only security to deal with...

It is still a domestic flight so you can go directly to the gate. An hour ten is little tight but should be OK at that time of the morning but don't be any later. I would rather be there around six.

"By 'domestic' you mean within the EU?"

No, he means within Schengen. Countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement (which include Italy and Greece) have agreed to abolish routine border checks. So, your flight is similar to a domestic flight in the US - no passport control.

As examples of the difference between EU and Schengen:
England and Ireland are part of the EU, but are not in Schengen.
Switzerland and Norway are not part of the EU, but are part of Schengen.
