A private transfer from Chania Airport to Adelianos Kampos covers 78.0 km (48.5 mi) in about 1 hr 30 min and costs a fixed fare from €124 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Chania Airport, or the departure run back from Adelianos Kampos - Adele at the same fixed fare.
Fares are per vehicle, not per person, and cover the whole car, so a family of four pays once. The price you see is the price confirmed on your voucher; it does not change with traffic, time of day, or a delayed flight.
| Vehicle | Typical models | Passengers | Bags | Fare | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
SUV | Skoda Karoq | up to 4 | 4 | €124 |
|
Minivan | Peugeot Traveller, Mercedes Vito | up to 8 | 8 | €163 |

The same fare applies in both directions: Adelianos Kampos - Adele back to Chania Airport costs the same as the arrival leg. Child and booster seats are added at booking, at no extra charge.
Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall at Chania Airport, holding a sign with your name and the company name on it. Your transfer starts there rather than at a taxi rank, so there is no queue and no fare to agree on the spot.
Chania International Airport (CHQ) sits on the Akrotiri peninsula, on high ground east of the city. Chania International Airport handled 1,574,043 international arrivals in 2025, which makes it the island's second gateway after Heraklion and the natural entry point for western Crete.
The airport's position matters for what happens next. The road down from Akrotiri joins the national road just east of Chania, so Rethymno, Georgioupolis and the whole north coast run east without entering the city, while Platanias, Kissamos and the west coast run through or around it.
Chania Airport is a single-terminal airport, so the walk from baggage reclaim to the meeting point is short even when several flights land together.
Inside the arrivals hall, at the exit, where your driver waits with a name board.
Look for the board rather than heading for the taxi rank. If your flight arrives late at night, the driver is still there: the pickup is set against the flight, not the schedule.
Give us your flight number at booking. Your pickup is scheduled against that flight, and we track it, so a delayed landing moves the pickup rather than costing you the transfer.
Tell us as early as you can when a flight is cancelled or rerouted, so the driver can be reassigned.
Adelianos Kampos is the beach strip immediately east of Rethymno, and Adele is the older village on the slope above it. Adelianos Kampos is where most of Rethymno's larger beach hotels stand, set along the sand between the city and Platanias with the national road behind them.
The beach here is a continuation of Rethymno's own, wide and sandy, and it runs east without interruption for several kilometres.
Adele, uphill and inland, is a separate place: a village with a square and tavernas, older than the resort and quieter than it.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, on the beach strip or up in Adele.
The strip is several kilometres long and its hotels sit on service roads off the main one. Give the hotel name at booking rather than only the area, so the driver takes the right turning.
The drive runs east for 78.0 kilometres and takes about 1 hr 30 min, ending on the beach strip past Rethymno. Adelianos Kampos sits east of the city, so this route carries on through Rethymno rather than stopping at it, which is why it takes longer than the transfer to the town itself.
The car leaves Akrotiri, joins the national road above Souda and runs along the edge of Apokoronas, passing the exits for Kalyves, Almyrida and the inland villages of Vamos and Gavalochori.
Georgioupolis and Kavros come next, at the mouth of the Almyros, with the turning inland to Lake Kournas shortly after. The road then climbs past Armeni and comes down through Atsipopoulo towards Rethymno.
Rethymno is passed on its bypass, and the beach strip begins immediately east of it. Adelianos Kampos runs for several kilometres along that shore and its hotels sit on service roads off the main one, so the hotel name is what tells the driver which turning to take.
No direct public service reaches this strip from the airport.
The public route is the airport bus to Chania, the intercity coach east to Rethymno, then a local bus or taxi out along the beach road. Three legs with luggage, and the last stage sets you on the main road rather than at a hotel entrance several hundred metres off it.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Adelianos Kampos - Adele. There is no central drop-off point and no walk with your luggage at the end. These are properties in the resort we transfer guests to regularly; if yours is not listed, it is still covered, so enter the name when you book.

Adelianos Kampos back to Chania Airport is the same 78.0 kilometres in reverse, at the same fixed fare.
The Rethymno bypass and the Chania approach are both slower westbound in the morning, so departure pickups from the strip are set with both in mind.

For a departure from Adelianos Kampos we work back from your flight: about 1 hr 30 min of driving, plus the check-in and security time your airline asks for, plus a buffer for Rethymno and Chania.

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name on it. You walk out of baggage reclaim straight to the car, without joining a taxi rank or agreeing a fare on the spot.
