Airport pickup

Your pickup at Chania Airport

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.

Where we meet you

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.

Flight delays and waiting time

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.

Heraklion

Arriving in Anissaras

Anissaras is a quiet coastal strip immediately east of Hersonissos, made up almost entirely of hotel complexes set along a low rocky shoreline. Anissaras has no resort centre of its own, which is precisely the point: guests get the coast without the strip, with Hersonissos a few minutes away when they want it.

The shoreline alternates between small sandy inlets and flat rock, and most of the larger hotels have built their own beach areas and swimming platforms. Sunbathing here tends to happen inside the property rather than on a public beach.

Because the area is hotel-led, there is little in the way of independent shops or tavernas within walking distance. Most guests either eat in the hotel or take the short trip into Hersonissos.

Good to know about Anissaras
  • Almost entirely hotel complexes, with no resort centre
  • Low rocky shoreline broken by small sandy inlets
  • Most hotels have private beach areas and swimming platforms
  • Hersonissos is a few minutes west for shops, tavernas and nightlife
Drop-off in Anissaras

We drop you at your hotel's reception entrance.

The complexes here sit behind long private drives off the coast road. The driver takes the vehicle right up to reception, which matters in Anissaras more than most places because the walk from the road would be a long one.

What you get

Why book this transfer with Best Crete Transfer

Fixed price per vehicle

The fare covers the whole vehicle rather than each seat, so 4 people pay the same as 1. The price on your voucher is the price you pay, with no booking fee and no card surcharge.

Meet and greet by name

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.

Child and booster seats included

Child seats cost nothing extra. Reserve the seat in the booking form and state the child's age, so the correct seat is fitted before the driver sets off.

Free cancellation

Cancel at least 24 hours before your pickup time and you pay nothing. Plans change; the booking does not lock you in.

Direct door-to-door routing

The vehicle carries your party and nobody else. It runs from the pickup point to your exact address, with no intermediate stops and no waiting for other passengers.

Flight-timed pickups, 24 hours a day

Your pickup is set against your flight number, not a clock time. Transfers run at any hour, which covers night landings and pre-dawn departures.

Every booking is confirmed by a person and carries a voucher showing your route, vehicle, pickup time and fare.
