Private Heraklion Airport Transfers
Book a private transfer from Heraklion International Airport to your hotel on Crete's north coast, or onward to Chania.
About Heraklion International Airport
Heraklion International Airport “Nikos Kazantzakis” (HER) is Crete's main air gateway, located a short distance east of Heraklion city on the island's north coast. It handles both international and domestic flights, serving visitors heading to Heraklion itself and to resort areas along the north coast.
The airport sits close to Heraklion's port, which connects the island with Piraeus by ferry, and within driving distance of Chania to the west. A private transfer connects the airport directly with your accommodation without relying on public transport connections after landing.
