Heraklion International Airport Ground Transportation Map (2025)
Open the Heraklion International Airport Ground Transportation Map to plan smooth arrivals and onward travel. Heraklion International Airport (HER) sits just outside the city center, which makes its compact layout easy to navigate by taxi, shuttle, or rental car.
That’s because the single terminal fronts directly onto the main road into town, and clear “Taxis” and “Bus to City” signs mark the exits on the Arrivals level.
This map highlights pickup zones, car hire desks, and parking areas so you can orient quickly on arrival. Follow the “Arrivals/Exits” arrows toward the forecourt to find the taxi rank or the KTEL bus stop for downtown connections.
