How Heraklion taxis charge

In the city the meter must run: tariff 1 by day, tariff 2 at night. For longer runs to the resorts, drivers often quote a set price instead, which is legal and usually fair if it falls within the ranges above. Agree it before the car moves, and say if you want to pay by card: taxis must carry a terminal.

Taxi or transfer from Heraklion Airport?

For the city and the near resorts (Gouves, Hersonissos), the taxi is quick and fair. From Malia outwards, and for any arrival after midnight, compare with a pre-booked transfer: the price is fixed per car, it includes waiting time if your flight is late, and you skip a queue that can reach 30 minutes on summer Saturdays. Families with four or more people should book a minivan rather than squeeze into one taxi or pay for two.
