A headland, not a suburb
Chania's airport is on Akrotiri, the headland east of the city, and the road from it runs out to the base of the peninsula before turning west around the bay. Fifteen kilometres therefore takes closer to half an hour than to a quarter, and most of that road is single carriageway.
Three operators and one price
Two firms list this run at exactly sixty euros for the vehicle and a third prices it by vehicle size from thirty-nine to eighty-one. When independent suppliers land on the same number, it is usually because the journey is short enough and common enough for the market to have settled.
What the journey costs
60 EUR for the vehicle, up to seven people, checked at Viator on 11 September 2026.
