    Heraklion Vacations

    If you're planning a vacation in Heraklion, renting a car during your stay on the island will be your best companion. It's particularly convenient to pick up a car right after your arrival at Heraklion Airport, helping you avoid expensive taxi fares.

    Here’s how to rent a car in Heraklion:

    Heraklion—the cultural heart of Crete—is home to the famous Archaeological Museum and many other attractions including the Minoan palaces of Knossos, Malia, and Phaistos, the palace of Agia Triada, and the ancient city of Gortin. Traveling by car allows you to visit all these sites with ease and comfort.

    Features of Renting in Heraklion

    You can rent a car not only at the airport but also at various rental shops around the city or even directly at your hotel. Choosing a car on the spot allows you to personally assess its condition and possibly negotiate the price. However, during peak season, this approach is often more expensive, especially when availability is low.

    That's why most travelers prefer to rent a car online, using services like TakeCars, which offer:

    • The ability to review all vendor reviews.
    • Information about the owner of the car.
    • Detailed filters for easy car selection.
    • Rental options with no deposit required.

    By renting a car, you can not only explore Heraklion but also embark on exciting trips all over Crete. Visit places like the Lassithi Plateau, the beaches of Elafonisi, or the island of Spinalonga. With TakeCars, your journey will be even easier, thanks to our cooperation with local companies and individuals providing a wide range of cars for every budget.
