Kokkini Hani - also written Kokkini Chani - is the first resort east of Heraklion and only about fifteen minutes from the airport, which makes it one of the quickest places for us to reach when someone needs a car at short notice.
Tell us where you are staying, when you need the car and for how long, and we will personally check what is available today or tomorrow.
Most accommodation here lines the old coast road and the side streets running down to the beach, all easy to reach, so delivery is frequently possible. Because the airport is a short hop away, this is also a common pattern: guests collect a car here on day three rather than at arrival, or return it at HER on the last morning. Send your flight number if the return is at the airport.
Parking and the two roads east
Parking in Kokkini Hani is realistic rather than perfect: hotel forecourts and side-street spaces are usually findable outside peak evening hours, and it is far easier than parking in Hersonissos or Malia. Two roads run parallel here - the old coast road through the village for slow seaside driving, and the E75 above it when you want to be in Heraklion or Agios Nikolaos quickly.
How the availability check works for Kokkini Hani
Send your location, pickup time, return time and number of travellers.
We personally check what is currently free, in our own fleet and with local partners.
You get the available vehicle and one clear all-inclusive total price.
You decide whether to confirm - nothing is reserved before that.
Where confirmed, the car is delivered to the agreed spot and paid for at handover.
Which car suits Kokkini Hani
A small car is ideal: short hops, easy parking, low fuel use.
An automatic makes the coast-road traffic and airport runs less tiring.
A compact estate or crossover suits couples touring further east for a day or two.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Kokkini Hani from Heraklion Airport?
Roughly fifteen minutes by car along the coast, which is why airport-related handovers here are common.
Can you deliver to my apartment in Kokkini Hani today?
Often, if a suitable car is free. Send the address and the time and we will confirm before you commit to anything.
Is parking difficult here?
Less than in the larger resorts. Hotel parking and side streets normally work, though the seafront fills in the evening.
Can I return the car at the airport instead?
Usually, yes - tell us the flight and the time when you enquire so we can confirm it as part of the offer.
Does sending an enquiry reserve the car?
No. A vehicle is only reserved once we have confirmed availability and you have accepted the final offer.
Is fuel included in the price?
No. Insurance, unlimited kilometres and taxes are included; fuel is not. The fuel policy is written into the offer before you confirm.
