KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ierápetra

  • Crete is known for its stunning beaches and charming villages, and with a car hire in Ierapetra, you can easily reach remote and less crowded beaches that may not be easily accessible by public transport. You can also explore hidden gems and experience the authentic Cretan way of life by visiting traditional villages off the beaten path.

  • If you are planning to fly to Crete, Heraklion International Airport, "Nikos Kazantzakis" (HER) is the closest major international airport to Ierapetra, located approximately 95 km (59 miles) west of the town. It is the main airport serving the island of Crete, and offers many domestic and international flights. Green Motion and Enterprise are two options that have desks at Heraklion International Airport (HER). You will find the car hire area located in the car park, in front of the main terminal building.
