Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Hersonissos
For the majority of travelers, Heraklion International Airport N. Kazantzakis (HER) is the primary and most practical gateway, located in the nearby city of Heraklion; it is the closest facility and offers the most efficient bus and taxi transfers. The other airports serve their own distinct regions and are not located in Hersonissos at all. Chania International Airport (CHQ) is a major international and domestic hub for Western Crete, but it is situated very far from Hersonissos, requiring a multi-hour journey. Sitia "Vitsentzos Kornaros" Airport (JSH) serves the eastern end of the island and is a quiet alternative, best for those exploring the Lasithi region. Santorini Airport (JTR) and Milos Airport (MLO) are located on different islands entirely and only make sense if you are combining an island-hopping itinerary with your trip to Crete. For the most stress-free arrival, always pre-book private transfers if arriving at the smaller regional airports, as public transport can be infrequent or non-existent outside of major hubs.

The hotel facilities are very good and new, the swimming is a highlight, and the sunset is especially beautiful. The recliners by the pool need to take a seat in the morning, the towels provided by the recliners and the seat covers are clean and comfortable. The restaurant is romantic and the food is delicious. Hotel service staff try their best to provide services, but seems to be insufficient skills, questions can not be answered in time, need patience, etc. Overall very recommended hotelFromUS$433

Our stays at Bianca Doma in Crete were absolutely fantastic. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we’ve stayed twice this year and no doubt we’ll be returning again.
The apartments are spotlessly clean, comfortable, and have everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Waking up to the beautiful views each morning was a real highlight, and the pool area is peaceful, well-maintained, and the perfect place to unwind.
What truly sets Bianca Doma apart, though, is the incredible staff. Their warmth and genuine friendliness made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They take the time to get to know their guests personally and offer thoughtful recommendations on places to visit, restaurants, and local experiences. Their advice helped us make the most of our time in Crete and made our holidays even more memorable.Very Good54 Reviews

A stunning and family-friendly hotel with all you could ask for on the grounds. From a beautiful gym, swimming pools galore to an incredible water park on site for not just the little ones but the big kids too… it has it all! The food courts had so much variety too with different settings for different nights. The entertainment kicked in just as I was leaving and the bar side singing was just beautiful, a great touch to the space ito give it that adult-exclusivity feel away from the other areas of the hotel which catered for the whole family.FromUS$643

It was a memorable time for us traveling from US as family of four with two kids age 7 and 11. First striking thing was everything was included in the all inclusive price. There were no hidden charges or extra fees for things like ala carte reservations. There were plenty of activities for the kids to keep them occupied. Ice creams and desserts were available all the time. Only downside for us was that we are vegetarians and food options are very limited as Greece goes heavy on meat.FromUS$755

We have just had the most incredible days staying at Esperides Resort. From the moment we arrived, all staff were outstanding. My girlfriend and I stayed in a room with a private jetted tub which was well worth the upgrade. We will remember our few days at this hotel for a long time and would love to come back in the future.FromUS$294
