Heraklion International Airport, named after the Greek writer Nikos Kanatzakis, is the second largest airport in Greece. It was opened in 1939, but during World War II it was closed and resumed work only in 1947. It is expected that in 2019 it will be replaced by a new airport. Now it carries out international and domestic flights, annually transporting about 6 million passengers.

Despite the small territory, the airport is equipped with everything necessary. Duty free shops offer both European products and locally produced goods. You can also spend time before the flight in a cafe or a waiting room, admiring the water surface, the view of which opens from the windows of the airport. For arriving tourists at the exit, rental car rental points and stands of travel companies are presented.

The cheapest way to get to Heraklion is to use the bus, which takes just 20 minutes and costs less than 1 euro. Nevertheless, many tourists staying in Crete prefer to immediately rent a car, which is much more convenient if you have luggage and allows you to diversify the trip. Car rental companies offer discounts on long-term rental. You can book a car in advance on the most favorable terms in advance on the Bookingcar.su website.
