Heraklion Airport (HER)

Heraklion Airport is the second largest airport in Greece, handling over seven million passengers per year, and is found on the island of Crete. Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, and Heraklion is considered to be one of its main gateways.

Heraklion Airport is the Nikos Kazantzakis, which is a name derived from a famous Greek writer and philosopher. The postal address is Heraklion International Airport N. Kazantzakis, 71601 Heraklion Crete, Greece. Passengers may also contact staff at the following telephone number: +30 2810397129. It is well connected to the main roads of Crete. Its exit road is known as the Makariou, and this road leads to a major highway, often referred to as the "National Highway".

Heraklion Airport is international, and the primary airport for the island of Crete. The only airport in the country with a greater number of passengers is Athens International, situated on the mainland, nearby Athens, the country’s capital city. It is at its busiest during the warmer summer months when visitors flock to Crete to enjoy some water sports or simply to wander the charming towns. Therefore, many of the airline companies offer seasonal flights along with scheduled routes available throughout the year.

A number of low-cost airline carriers are present, such as Air Berlin, Easyjet and Germanwings. Some of the destinations served by these low-cost carriers include Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow-International, the London airports of Gatwick, Luton and Stansted, Manchester, Munich, Hamburg, Zürich and Rome Fiumicino. Ryanair is another very popular airline carrier that has firmly established itself as a leader in the low-cost flight industry but does not offer flights from here.

The passenger terminal has a variety of facilities, which include a duty-free shop, information desk, car rental offices, a bank, currency exchange services, a medical office and lost and found services. There are baby changing facilities available, and accessible areas for disabled passengers. Additional assistance can also be arranged with the passenger's airline company
