How to arrange Crete airport transfer

Heraklion International Airport is the central hub for arriving in Crete. It's a small but busy airport located 5 km from the Heraklion city centre. Regular bus lines run from Heraklion airport to Heraklion city centre, where you can change to another bus and continue your journey to Chania and Agios Nikolaos.

Chania International Airport is the second busiest in Crete, situated around 14 km from Chania city centre or approximately 20 minutes drive. You can take a bus from Chania International to the city centre and change to another bus to your resort.

For direct transfers from Crete airport to your hotel, you can take an airport taxi. Both Heraklion and Chania airport have taxi stands where you can take a cab after you land. Keep in mind that it's very crowded during peak season and you will need to wait in queues for a while. Also, the temperatures are relatively high, so it's not very convenient waiting in the heat.

To avoid waiting for a taxi and the hassle of changing between buses, you can book your Crete airport transfer with us. We organise private Crete airport transfers to any part of the island and back to the airport on your way home. You can book the service online, and we will make sure the driver is waiting for you at the meeting point once you land. We serve both Crete airports and organise transfers from Heraklion airport to Hersonissos or Chania airport to Agia Marina at fixed rates. The price varies according to the type of vehicle. Our extensive fleet includes sedan cars, minibuses and buses.

Public transport in Crete

The bus is the only public transport mode in Crete. However, it's very efficient and runs daily from the main stations in Chania, Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos and Rethymno to the most popular resorts. When making the arrangements for travelling by bus, always check the timetable and buy tickets in advance.

The Crete taxi service is a fast way to get around the island and explore the beautiful beaches like Kalamaki and Kolymbari. There are local taxi companies that charge by the meter, and for longer distance journeys, you can negotiate the price. Taxis in Crete are available at the taxi stands on the main streets and in front of the bus stations.

Car rental in Heraklion is a perfect solution for travellers who wish to navigate Crete at their own pace. Driving in Crete is easy, although in rural parts you should beware of animals on the road. There are car rental companies at Chania and Heraklion airport, as well as in the larger towns.

Must-visit places in Crete

Crete is the largest Greek island, rich in history and beautiful landscapes. Here you will find the most amazing sandy beaches and charming villages where the locals will greet you with a warm welcome. The local cuisine is superb, and you can try local delicacies from homegrown food in most taverns.

Within Samaria National Park, you will find the impressive Samaria Gorge. It's excellent for hiking enthusiasts, although the trail is quite challenging. Crete is an important centre of the Minoans culture, and the Palace of Knossos is believed to be the home of King Minos. To learn more about Ancient Greek history, we suggest visiting the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.

It's hard to visit all these places during your stay, so we recommend creating your itinerary and hiring a car with a driver by the hour with us.
