  • 20 minute gap between transfers

    Following each ride, our drivers have at least 20 minutes to thoroughly clean the surfaces of the car and ventilate the cabin.

  • Contactless ride

    When you book, you can request to have zero contact with the driver during the transfer with just one click. In this case, the driver won’t help you with your luggage or shake hands.

  • Sanitiser in every car

Directions for your transfer from Heraklion airport

Heraklion International Airport (HER) is the largest and busiest airport on the island of Crete. Every year, the island hosts millions of people from across Europe and beyond, making Heraklion airport a hub for international travel. The shortest route from Heraklion airport to the city centre is 3 km, so in a Heraklion airport taxi, this journey should take around 10 minutes. To begin your journey, your driver will head north-west along Leoforos Ikarou, which will lead you into the city centre. From there, your driver will use the local roads to reach your hotel.
