Airport pickup information
Your driver tracks your flight and waits in the arrivals hall outside the arrivals exit holding a name sign. Waiting time of 60 minutes after landing is included, so passport control or a delayed bag is never a problem.
Travel tips
- The arrivals area gets very crowded in July and August — look for your name sign right outside the doors.
- Heraklion port (5 km) has ferries to Piraeus and Santorini.
- Mountain roads to the south coast are slow; allow extra time.
