The experience

Your driver arrives at your Elounda hotel or apartment at the time you choose, and takes you straight to Heraklion Airport with no detours or additional pickups. The route runs about 90 minutes depending on traffic, and the price is set before you leave: no meter, no haggling at the curb, no surprises when you arrive. Bottled water is in the car.

This is a private transfer, which means it's just you and your luggage and the driver. The car is clean, the driver is professional and knows the roads between Elounda and the airport well enough that you can sit back instead of watching the GPS. If you're traveling with an infant or small child, specialized seats are available. You just need to request one when you book.

The airport is about 70 kilometers from Elounda, and the drive takes you inland through the Cretan landscape before dropping you at the departures entrance. All fees and taxes are included in the price you pay upfront, so there's nothing left to settle with the driver. If your flight is early and you need to leave before dawn, or if you're catching a late evening departure, the transfer adjusts to your schedule.
