Heraklion Airport transport guide

Heraklion Airport is Crete’s busiest gateway on the north coast near the capital. It serves the eastern and central resort belt — not Chania’s west. Choose transfer, taxi or car hire based on how far you continue after landing.

HER vs CHQ

Flying into Heraklion and staying near Chania Old Town (or the reverse) means a long cross-island drive. AirportBook keeps HER and CHQ as separate hubs — same rule as GoFleet Marketplace. If your hotel is west-coast, open the Chania Airport guide instead.
