Day Trips from Sitia

Sitia’s central location in eastern Crete makes it a perfect base for day trips. With a Sitia transfer, you can easily visit nearby towns and attractions like Makry Gialos, Ierapetra, and Agios Nikolaos. Don’t miss the chance to explore the archaeological site of Zakros or take a boat tour to Koufonissi Island for a truly unique experience.

By Taxi

The quickest and most comfortable way to reach Sitia is by a taxi transfer from Heraklion Airport to Sitia. Covering 125 km, the journey takes approximately 2 hours. A pre-booked taxi ensures you avoid long queues, delays, and the hassle of navigating public transportation, especially during peak tourist seasons.

• Cost: Approximately €145 for a standard taxi
• Service: Door-to-door convenience, ideal for families, groups, or travelers with luggage

By Private Transfer

For ultimate convenience, book a private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Sitia. Your driver will meet you at the airport, assist with luggage, and ensure a smooth, personalized journey to your destination. This option is perfect for those seeking flexibility, comfort, and peace of mind.

• Duration: Around 2 hours
• Benefits: Professional drivers, modern vehicles, and optional child seats

By Bus

Traveling by bus is the most budget-friendly option, but it involves transfers and additional travel time. From Heraklion Airport, take a shuttle or taxi to the Heraklion Bus Station (KTEL). From there, board a KTEL bus to Sitia.

• Duration: Approximately 4-5 hours, including wait times
• Cost: Around €26 (total: €2 for the airport shuttle and €24 for the bus from Heraklion to Sitia)
