Getting to Heraklion By Air
Nikos Kazantzakis airport (airport code: HER) can be reached throughout the year from Athens and other major Greek cities by daily flights of Aegean Airlines. During the "summer" period (mid April till end of October) Heraklion can be reached by many charter flights from several European cities (please check with your local travel agents). Flight time to/from Athens is about 40min.
Getting to Heraklion By Sea
Throughout the year there are 3 daily trips connecting Heraklion with Piraeus port (Athens). The boats usually sail during the night and the trip is about 7hrs. For boat shcedule and fares please check: Minoan Lines, ANEK Lines and Superfast Ferries.
Airport to City center
When you arrive at the Heraklion airport, you have two options to get to the city and to Atlantis Hotel, the workshop venue: You can either use public transportation (a bus) or a taxi. We highly recommend the taxi option, since you will be able to find one immediately outside the arrivals building and it will take you directly to your destination. Taxi fares for this route are around 10 euros.
Port to City center
Heraklion port is located close to the city center. To reach Atlantis hotel, you can either utilize a taxi (there are always a number of taxis available upon exiting the ship) or opt for a short walk as most hotels are located close to the center.
