Taxis

Taxis are readily available directly outside the airport terminal, especially after scheduled flight arrivals. The ride to Sitia town is very short, typically taking only 5-10 minutes. Fares are metered, but it's advisable to confirm the estimated cost with the driver before your journey.

Rental Cars

Several car rental agencies, including international brands (like Hertz, Avis, Sixt) and local Cretan companies, have service desks located within the arrivals area of the terminal. Pre-booking your vehicle online is highly recommended, especially during the peak tourist season, to secure better rates and ensure availability.

Public Transportation

There is no direct public bus (KTEL) service from Sitia Airport. To use the public bus network, you must first take a taxi to the main KTEL bus station in Sitia town. From the town's station, you can catch buses to other destinations in eastern Crete, such as Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, and Heraklion.
