Katowice — Heraklion: The Perfect Escape into Summer

After rainy Katowice, landing in sunny Heraklion sounds like a great idea. This route feels like a warm blanket for the soul — only with a Greek accent. Just about 2 hours and 40 minutes in the air, and you’re surrounded by views that look more like postcards than real life.

Heraklion isn’t just about beaches and museums — it’s about atmosphere. It’s easy to get lost among the narrow streets where oranges are left out to dry and tavernas where the music sounds like it’s being played just for you. Start your day with a coffee in the city center, look out at the sea from Koules Fortress, and in the evening, be sure to stop by a small market for salty olives and homemade bread.

Greek cuisine is more than just food — it’s practically a way to be happy. Moussaka, saganaki, dakos, and local white wine that smells like peaches and vacation. People here know how to live slowly, and you’ll quickly learn to do the same. After all, as you know, people get used to good things quickly.

To Make It Even More Comfortable

Crete is a place where slowing down just feels right. But a few small things can make your trip even smoother. If it’s your first time here, give yourself room to improvise: open terraces, street markets, cozy coffee spots. There’s no need to plan everything — just stay open to whatever comes your way.

  • The sun is strong from April, so be sure to bring sunscreen.
  • A taxi from the airport will take you to the center in 10–15 minutes.
  • If you’re looking for peace and quiet, choose a hotel a little outside the old town — ideally with a sea view.
  • Photo of the day? Sunset in the port — best enjoyed with a glass of something delicious.

And don’t forget comfortable shoes — you’ll definitely want to walk a lot. Even better — leave a little space in your luggage for a bottle of olive oil, dried herbs, and the kind of memories you’ll want to bring home.

The Katowice — Heraklion flight is a quick and easy way to switch into vacation mode. And SkyUp™ will make sure you don’t just arrive in Heraklion — you’ll land in a mood where everything feels light, flavorful, and genuinely good.
