  • If you’re flying directly to Heraklion, it’s likely you’ll be in the air for quite a while. Take some snacks and things to keep you busy. Now is a terrific time to pick up that novel you haven’t read yet!

  • Be flexible with your travel dates and wait for huge sales on business or first-class airfares.
  • Low-cost airlines offer business-class seating at more affordable prices. Give the full-service carriers a miss and look into these cheaper options.
  • Make the most of your airline’s flight rewards program and use points to upgrade your seat. Alternatively, you can try bidding for an upgrade in an online auction.

What is the best time to go to Heraklion?
Anytime is an awesome time to vacation in Heraklion, but May, June and July are the liveliest months. Like most of the Northern Hemisphere, the summer starts June 20.

Expect average daytime highs of 80 ºF and nighttime lows around 70 ºF.
