Experience Heraklion with Rhinocarhire:  Crete's Vibrant Capital

Heraklion, the largest city of Crete, is a melting pot of ancient history, vibrant culture, and unparalleled natural beauty. As the gateway to Crete's wonders, from Minoan palaces to sun-kissed beaches, Heraklion is a destination that seamlessly marries the antiquities of yesteryears with the pulsating energy of modern life.


Why Opting for a Car Rental in Heraklion is a Wise Choice

  • Freedom and Flexibility: Embrace the liberty to craft your itinerary, allowing for impromptu detours and stops.
  • Comfort: Bypass the restrictions and crowding of public transport, reveling in the personalized comfort of your vehicle.
  • Economical Exploration: Especially for groups or families, renting a car can prove to be an economical way to delve into Heraklion's many marvels.

Traversing Heraklion and Beyond

  • Nearest Airport: Heraklion International Airport (Nikos Kazantzakis) is barely 5 km away from the city center, making it a swift drive to and from your destinations.
  • Tolls: There aren't toll roads within Heraklion, ensuring a hassle-free drive.
  • Road Conditions: While the main highways like the E75 are well-maintained, anticipate some of the smaller roads, especially in mountainous regions, to be narrow and winding.
  • Traffic Insights: Heraklion's city center can be busy during peak hours, so always allocate some buffer time for your journeys.

Choosing Your Ideal Vehicle

  • Seasonal Recommendations: Summer’s warmth is ideal for sedans and convertibles, while during the cooler winter months, you might prefer a vehicle with closed top.
  • Navigating Terrain: If venturing into Crete's mountainous regions or less-traveled paths, a 4x4 vehicle could be your best companion.

  1. Knossos Palace: Only a 15-minute drive from Heraklion, this archaeological marvel is a testament to Minoan civilization's grandeur.
  2. Heraklion Archaeological Museum: Located in the city center, it offers a deep dive into Crete's rich history.
