Which transfer should you choose?

Both our routing engines returned 59.79 kilometres, agreeing to the metre, which is rare and happens when there is one obvious road. They differ by ten minutes on the time, 47 against 57, and that is the expressway against the older coast road it replaced. An earlier measurement of 71 km was to a different Agios Nikolaos: there is a village of the same name in western Crete.

Both engines agreed to the metre

Our two routing engines returned 59.79 kilometres each, which almost never happens and means there is one obvious road: the expressway that runs east along the north coast and ends here. They differ by ten minutes on the time, which is the expressway against the older road it replaced.

There is more than one Agios Nikolaos

A village of the same name sits in the Rethymno municipality in western Crete, about seventy kilometres the other way. An unbounded search returns it first, and the transfer it would price is a different journey. The coordinate on this page is the town in Lasithi, on the Gulf of Mirabello.

What the journey costs

78 EUR for a saloon and up to four people, 105 for a minivan and up to eight, checked at Viator on 11 September 2026. Those are two vehicles, not two quotes for the same thing.

Prefer to have it booked before you land?

A private transfer to Agios Nikolaos is arranged in advance and the driver meets you in arrivals. Prices move, so the link opens the current ones at Viator.
