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. Ierapetra is ideally located for day trips with an Ierapetra car hire from where you can easily visit places like the stunning Palm Beach of Vai, the archaeological site of Gournia, the picturesque village of Mochlos, or take a boat trip to the island of Chrissi.

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.
