Prepare your Heraklion journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER) or Sitia Airport (JSH), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Heraklion hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- Separate the longer travel stages: The geographic references put Rhodes (about 304 km) and Athens (about 321 km) from Heraklion in a straight line. Choose how the group travels between those cities before requesting each local pickup; a flight or rail stage and a full road itinerary need different transport briefs.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.

Planning your Heraklion journey
How do HER and JSH compare for a Heraklion transfer?
Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER) is about 4 km from the Heraklion map reference in a straight line; Sitia Airport (JSH) is about 88 km. These figures are not road distances. Base the enquiry on the booked flight and actual destination address; road access and collection arrangements are checked separately.
Can one enquiry cover groups landing at different airports near Heraklion?
List each airport, flight number, arrival time and passenger count separately. If one group lands at HER and another at JSH, say whether they need separate vehicles or whether you want a combined itinerary assessed. Do not assume a single vehicle can meet both schedules.
What happens if the destination after landing is Rhodes?
Use Rhodes as the actual destination rather than entering only Heraklion as the wider area. Add the hotel or venue address and luggage count so the quote covers the requested end point.
How do the Rhodes and Athens stops compare from Heraklion?
From the Heraklion geographic reference, Rhodes is approximately 303.5 km away in a straight line and Athens is 321.2 km away. Rhodes is listed in South Aegean; Athens is listed in Attica. The more distant stop needs to be treated as a separate stage of the itinerary, including any connections or overnight plans. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
