Which transfer should you choose?
The airport sits on the eastern edge of Heraklion, which means the expressway east starts almost at the terminal door and the drive never enters the city. Our two engines returned 24.83 and 26.73 kilometres, 1.9 apart, and we publish the midpoint; both take about the same time, so the difference is where they leave the expressway rather than which road they use.
Your hotel is on the resort strip
Private transfer
Twenty-five minutes on a dual carriageway, and no part of the drive goes through Heraklion.
Six or eight travelling together
Private transfer
Sixty euros for the car works out at under eight each.
You land in the evening
Private transfer
The airport bus east runs, but the last stretch to a beach hotel is a walk with cases.

Sixty euros covers the vehicle and up to eight seats in it, as listed at Viator on 11 September 2026. This is the only product on Crete that sells this resort by itself: every other one bundles the airport with the cruise port, so a single figure has to cover two different journeys.

The drive never enters Heraklion
The airport is on the eastern edge of the city, so the expressway east begins almost at the terminal and the journey bypasses Heraklion entirely. That is not true of the westward routes from here, and it is why this is the quickest resort transfer on the island's north coast.
Recorded under its Greek name
A search for "Hersonissos" in OpenStreetMap returns a bus stop of that name and no settlement. The town is recorded as Limenas Chersonisou, the port of Chersonisos, which is why this site stores both spellings and why a transfer operator may list either.
What the journey costs
60 EUR for the vehicle, up to eight people, checked at Viator on 11 September 2026. It is the only product that sells this resort on its own; the rest bundle the airport with the cruise port.
Prefer to have it booked before you land?
A private transfer to Hersonissos is arranged in advance and the driver meets you in arrivals. Prices move, so the link opens the current ones at Viator.
