We jump in a taxi straight away and for 12 euros we reach our Hotel. The city is only 4 kilometres west of the airport and it only takes 10 minutes to get there.

We finally sailing the beautiful Greek waters ...
Goodbye Crete
... it better not sink!!! We check out and we drive to Heraklion port which only took about 15 minutes. We leave the car in the port carpark unlocked with the keys under the drivers mat, well that is what the car hire company told us to. Goodbye car and we jump on our Hellenic Seaways Vodafone Seacat ferry to Mykonos (via Santorini and Paros).
Note for self: If return do not spend a lot of time in Heraklion, not overally attractive place.
