Airport pickup

Your pickup at Heraklion Airport

Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall at Heraklion Airport, holding a sign with your name on it. Your transfer starts there rather than at a taxi rank, so there is no queue to join and no fare to agree on the spot.

Heraklion International Airport (HER) is Crete's main gateway and handled 4,039,249 international arrivals in 2025. Heraklion International Airport concentrates its arrivals into one short terminal, which keeps the walk from baggage reclaim to the meeting area brief even at peak season.

The driver confirms your name and destination, loads your luggage, and leaves from the airport car park. Nothing is settled on the day when you have paid online, and the fare on your voucher does not change.

The airport sits on the coast road immediately east of Heraklion city, which puts every eastern resort on a direct run without crossing town. Westbound journeys join the same national road in the opposite direction.

Where we meet you

Inside the arrivals hall, past baggage reclaim, at the transfers meeting area. Your driver holds a name sign that matches the booking.

Look for the sign rather than a taxi rank or a car park level. The phone number on your voucher reaches a person who can locate your driver, if the sign is not where you expect it.

Flight delays and waiting time

Give us your flight number at booking. Your pickup is then scheduled against that flight rather than against a clock time, and the driver is told to arrive later when the flight lands late.

Tell us as early as you can when a flight is cancelled or rerouted, so the driver can be reassigned.

Arriving in Kissamos - Kastelli Kissamou

Kissamos, also written Kastelli Kissamou, is the main town of the far west of Crete, set at the head of the Gulf of Kissamos between the Rodopos and Gramvousa peninsulas. Kissamos is a working town rather than a resort, with a long seafront, a working port and an archaeological museum holding the Roman mosaics found in the area.

The town has two beaches of its own, Mavros Molos to the west and Telonio to the east, and a centre that runs a few streets back from the water.

Its port is the reason many visitors come. Boats to Balos lagoon and Gramvousa island leave from Kissamos, and the ferry along the west coast to Kythira and the Peloponnese sails from the same quay.

Good to know about Kissamos - Kastelli Kissamou
