Heraklion
Heraklion is Crete’s capital: Venetian harbour, Archaeological Museum, and the jump-off for Knossos. Hotels cluster near the centre, the port and the airport corridor.
Transfers from HER are among the shortest on the island. Guests often combine a city stay with Knossos and overnight ferries from Heraklion Port. GoFleet partners cover airport–city, port–hotel and onward east-coast resort hops. Rent-a-car helps if you plan multi-day driving toward Rethymno or the south coast.
GoFleet shows bookable partners only when they are listed for this area.
Old harbour streets can be tight — ask your hotel which square or gate works for taxi drop-off.
