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.

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.
