Which transfer should you choose?

Fifteen kilometres in twenty to twenty-seven minutes is slow, and the reason is the peninsula: the airport is on a headland, so the road runs out to the base of it before turning west. Our two engines returned 14.85 and 14.89 kilometres, forty metres apart, and then disagreed by seven minutes about how long a single-carriageway road takes.

You are staying in the old town

Private transfer

Its lanes are narrow and some are closed to traffic; a driver who knows which drop-off point serves your street saves a walk with cases.

Door to door
Yes

Sixty euros covers the vehicle and up to seven seats, as listed at Viator on 11 September 2026. Two operators list the same sixty for this run and a third prices by vehicle size from thirty-nine to eighty-one, so sixty is the middle of a settled market rather than one supplier's number.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Chania town from the airport?

15 km. Both routing engines returned about 14.9 km.

How much is a transfer?

60 EUR for the vehicle, up to seven people, checked at Viator rather than quoted live.

Why does 15 km take nearly half an hour?

The airport is on the Akrotiri peninsula, so the road heads away from the city before turning back around the bay, and most of it is single carriageway.
