Heraklion

Our arrival at Heraklion was as efficient as leaving Athens. Except here it was all even closer. Taxi was an option but with the town being closer than the length of the runway that seemed excessive. In any case we found the bus quickly and the walk,  even with our bags, from the drop off was only 15 minutes, through a town centre bustling with an early evening crowd. We were at the hotel within an hour of landing. This hotel wasn't quite as luxurious as Athens or Pafos but look decent. We quickly unpacked to get out and explore.
