A private transfer from Chania Airport to Fallasarna covers 70.7 km (43.9 mi) in about 1 hr 14 min and costs a fixed fare from €113 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Chania Airport, or the departure run back from Fallasarna 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.

The same fare applies in both directions: Fallasarna back to Chania Airport costs the same as the arrival leg. Child and booster seats are added at booking, at no extra charge.
The line is the road a driver actually takes from Chania Airport (CHQ) to Fallasarna: 70.7 km (43.9 mi), about 1 hr 14 min door to door. Pickup and drop-off are marked at the coordinates the booking engine quotes against, not at the centre of the nearest town.
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.
Fallasarna is a wide west-facing beach on the far west coast of Crete, north of Kissamos at the base of the Gramvousa peninsula. Fallasarna is known for its scale and its aspect: several hundred metres of pale sand facing directly west, which is why it fills with people watching the sunset rather than emptying at the end of the day.
The name is also written Falassarna and Falasarna, and all three refer to the same beach.
The ruins of the ancient harbour town of Phalasarna lie at the northern end, raised well above the present sea level by the earthquake that lifted this corner of the island.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, at the beach or up among the greenhouses and olive terraces behind it.
Accommodation at Fallasarna is scattered rather than clustered and many properties have no street address. Give the property name and the owner's directions when you book.
The drive runs to the far west of the island, 70.7 kilometres in about 1 hr 14 min. Fallasarna sits past Kissamos on the far side of a low ridge, so the last part of this route leaves the main road and climbs before dropping to the beach.
The car crosses Akrotiri, passes Chania and takes the coast road west past Stalos, Agia Marina, Platanias, Maleme and Tavronitis.
Kolymbari and the neck of the Rodopos peninsula follow, then the road turns inland and comes down to Kissamos at 56.3 kilometres, the last town of any size on this coast.
The final stretch climbs out of Kissamos and over the ridge before descending through olive terraces and greenhouses to the beach. Fallasarna faces directly west, which is worth knowing when you book: it is the reason the road down is busiest in the last hour before sunset.
There is no useful public route to Fallasarna.
The KTEL coach reaches Kissamos, and a local service runs to the beach only a couple of times a day in the summer months. Outside that season the last stretch has no scheduled transport at all, and reaching the coach from the airport means a change in Chania first.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Fallasarna. 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.
Villas, apartments and private addresses in Fallasarna are served the same way. Add the address at booking and the fare stays as quoted.
The return leg is the same journey in reverse: 70.7 km (43.9 mi), about 1 hr 14 min, and the same fixed fare from €113 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Fallasarna at the agreed time and takes you straight to Chania Airport.
Fallasarna back to Chania Airport is the same 70.7 kilometres in reverse, at the same fixed fare.
The climb back over the ridge to Kissamos takes several minutes on its own, and the Chania bypass is slower eastbound in the morning, so departure pickups allow for both.
Book both directions together and the return is held at the same fare. Switch the form at the top of this page to Departure, or select a return when you book.
For a departure from Fallasarna we work back from your flight: about 1 hr 14 min of driving, plus the check-in and security time your airline asks for, plus a buffer for the ridge road and the Chania bypass.
Give us the flight number at booking and the exact pickup time is confirmed on your voucher.
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.
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 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.
Cancel at least 24 hours before your pickup time and you pay nothing. Plans change; the booking does not lock you in.
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.
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.
