Travel Planning to Heraklion, Crete
This course will take place at a beautiful retreat center on the southern coast of the stunning island of Crete. The group will travel by chartered bus for a 1.5-hour journey from Heraklion to the retreat venue.
For a seamless travel experience, we recommend arriving in Heraklion at least one day before the course begins. This will ensure you have ample time to catch the chartered bus to the venue, even if there are any travel delays.
If you arrive early, we suggest booking a hotel in Heraklion, where a wide range of accommodation options are available to suit various budgets. A taxi from the airport to the city center typically costs between 15-20€ (16-22 USD).
Heraklion is a safe and welcoming city, where card payments are widely accepted.
