HOW TO GET FROM HERAKLION AIRPORT TO HERSONISSOS

The most comfortable way to get from the Heraklion airport to Hersonissos on the island of Crete is to arrange a private chauffeur through SIXT. Your driver will have your flight information so you're covered in case of delays, and they'll wait for you for up to 60 minutes in the airport arrivals hall after you land. Let your driver help you with your luggage once you arrive, and then enjoy the view from the back seat of your premium vehicle with a complimentary water bottle in hand. Just be sure to book your private airport transfer at least one hour in advance to enjoy these services.

If you don't want to book a transfer in advance, you can also get a regular licensed taxi from Heraklion Airport to the city of Hersonissos once you land. If this is your case, you can exit the arrivals area and follow signs pointing you toward the taxi stand. On-demand taxi apps don't operate on the island of Crete, so hailing a cab from the taxi stand will be your only option.

Public transportation is also an option to get to Hersonissos from the Heraklion airport. However, there is no direct option, so this will involve a transfer. This is not the most convenient if you are traveling with a lot of luggage. Catch the line 6 bus from Heraklion airport to the city center—this should take about 15 minutes. Once you've reached the city center, you will need to transfer to another bus to take you the rest of the way to Hersonissos, which will typically take about an hour.
