Transfer from Crete Heraklion Airport to Hersonissos

The drive is straightforward and scenic, covering approximately 22 km in about 25 minutes under normal conditions.

Your driver meets you at the baggage-hall exit of the arrivals terminal holding a name sign; no confusion, no hunting for a desk or counter.
