Cheap flights from Heraklion to Rome

Demand on this route follows school holidays, Rome's summer season and the Christmas and Easter periods, so fares usually rise when many travellers want the same dates. October is the cheapest month on this route, and midweek departures are often quieter than weekend ones, with both cities busy again as summer approaches.

Sky Express and Aegean Airlines are the Greek carriers on this route, so they are natural starting points for Heraklion departures; Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, Eurowings, Vueling Airlines and Marabu add further options, while Air Serbia, LOT Polish Airlines and Israir may route through connecting airports. Direct flights exist, and the difference between a direct ticket and a connection shows up in total travel time and in what the fare includes.

You land at either Ciampino or Fiumicino, and the difference matters before you book: Fiumicino is Rome's larger airport on the coast to the southwest, while Ciampino sits closer to the city to the southeast.

From both airports, rail or bus links and taxis can take you into central Rome, but late arrivals may mean a longer wait for the next service, so check the transfer you plan to use against your landing time.
