Plan around local peaks in Heraklion

Weather and season: Strong summer winds (meltemi) can delay ferries. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.

Holidays: In Greece, Orthodox Easter (often on a different date than in Western Europe), 15 August and Christmas can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
