Heraklion, Greece
How to travel around Heraklion — 5 options, what they cost, and which booking apps fix the fare before you go.
A good intercity network along the north coast and to the gorges.
The interior villages and the south coast are impractical otherwise.
Overnight boats to Piraeus and links to Santorini.
Compact, with the museum, the harbour and the market within a few minutes of each other.
Metered, though the meter is often 'broken' for visitors.
Agreeing the fare in an app before you travel removes the argument at the end of the journey, which is where most transport scams happen. Links go to each app's official page — lookalike apps are themselves a scam.
Hails licensed metered taxis in Greek cities.
Books the island ferry network across Greek operators in one place.
