Prefecture Heraklion
Heraklion is the beating heart of Crete, a place where Minoan history meets vibrant modern life and turquoise waters. To truly experience the diversity of the Heraklion Prefecture—from the legendary Palace of Knossos to the sun-drenched plains of Messara—having your own vehicle is not just a luxury; it is a necessity.
Whether your journey begins at Heraklion International Airport (HER) or Chania Airport (CHQ), our team ensures a stress-free start. We provide:
Direct Airport Pick-up & Drop-off: No long queues or shuttle buses.
Hotel Delivery Anywhere in Crete: We deliver your car directly to your resort, villa, or hotel in the Heraklion region (Hersonissos, Malia, Agia Pelagia, Gouves, and more) or anywhere else on the island.
In 2026, savvy travelers prioritize sustainability and value. Our new hybrid car fleet allows you to navigate the mountainous Cretan terrain with maximum fuel efficiency, saving you money at the pump.

Beach Hopping: Drive south to the hippie-famous caves of Matala, the secluded bay of Agiofarago, or the crystal-clear waters of Lendas.
Mountain Escapes: Take your hybrid car up to the Psiloritis slopes or visit the traditional village of Archanes, voted one of the best-restored villages in Europe.
