Which transfer should you choose?
Our two engines returned 82.53 and 82.54 kilometres, ten metres apart, and then differed by thirteen minutes on the time. That is unusual and worth reading correctly: they agree completely about which road and disagree only about how fast it is. Rethymno is also reachable from Chania airport, which is nearer in a straight line and further by road.

A hundred and thirty-five euros is the smallest vehicle. The same operator lists larger ones up to a fifteen-seat bus at three hundred and twenty-five, which is why the range on this route is wider than anywhere else on the island.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Rethymno from Heraklion Airport?
83 km west. Both routing engines returned about 82.5 km.
How much is a transfer?
From 135 EUR for the smallest vehicle, up to 325 for a fifteen-seat bus, checked at Viator rather than quoted live.
Would Chania airport be closer?
In a straight line, yes. By road the two are within about ten kilometres of each other, and this site has not yet published the Chania drive because its two routing engines disagree by twelve kilometres.
