Book a transfer from Heraklion Airport (HER) to Heraklion city center — from Crete's main international gateway to the island's vibrant capital of Venetian fortifications, world-class archaeology, and bustling markets.
The 5 km journey takes just 10 to 20 minutes heading west along the coast road into the city center, arriving at your hotel near the old Venetian harbor or the city's historic core.
Heraklion is the capital and largest city of Crete — a dynamic Mediterranean city with a rich Venetian heritage visible in its massive fortified walls, the iconic Koules Fortress guarding the old harbor, and the elegant Loggia. The Heraklion Archaeological Museum houses the world's greatest collection of Minoan artifacts, including the famous frescoes and the Phaistos Disc, making it one of Europe's most important museums. The Palace of Knossos — the legendary labyrinth of King Minos and the Minotaur — is just 5 km south. The 1866 Market Street (Odos 1866) is a vibrant covered bazaar of Cretan cheeses, herbs, olive oils, and local delicacies. Lion Square (Plateia Venizelou) with its Morosini Fountain and the surrounding café-lined streets are the social heart of the city.
