Car Park Lockers Area

HER regulars say they’ve never actually seen these lockers

Heraklion Airport (HER) only has one terminal, T1, and frequent flyers on forums say they either carry bags themselves or leave them at hotels. Nobody in recent threads reports using, or even clearly locating, a “Car Park Lockers Area”, so treat this as something that might exist on paper more than in practice.

Pricing is unclear: the official listing just shows a daily rate field marked with a dot (“.”) and no euro amount. That usually means staff-set or unpublished prices rather than a clear per-day board you can check online, so you cannot confidently budget for this as paid luggage storage ahead of time.

Facilities at HER routinely draw criticism; one Facebook discussion with dozens of comments calls out “extremely poor” amenities and very limited seating, yet not a single person mentions lockers or luggage storage. In a terminal where people complain loudly about tiny details, the silence on lockers suggests minimal use, minimal signage, or both.

Regulars on FlyerTalk and Facebook threads from 2022–2024 describe two actual strategies: keep your bags with you inside T1, or leave large suitcases at your hotel in Heraklion or nearby resorts. None of them describes dropping bags in any locker area near the airport car parks, which says a lot about how dependable this option feels to people who pass through HER often.

Practical tip: plan as if you won’t have working lockers: confirm with your hotel about holding bags for a few hours, and only at the airport ask information in T1 directly if a staffed luggage storage or “Car Park Lockers Area” is operating that day.
