A private transfer from Chania Airport to Stalida covers 178.0 km (110.6 mi) in about 2 hr 30 min and costs a fixed fare from €264 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Chania Airport, or the departure run back from Stalida 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.

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.
Stalida, often written Stalis, is a beach resort sitting in the gap between Chersonissos and Malia on the north coast. Stalida is quieter than either neighbour, which is largely why people choose it: the same long sandy beach, without the strip.
The resort is essentially one road running parallel to the sea, with hotels and apartments on both sides and the beach along its whole length. Nothing is far from anything else, and most guests walk everywhere once they arrive.
Because it sits between the two larger resorts, Stalida works as a base for people who want the nightlife within reach but not underneath their balcony. Chersonissos is a few minutes west, Malia a few minutes east.
We drop you at the door of your hotel or apartment along the beach road.
Stalida's main road is narrow and slows considerably in high season. The driver allows for that rather than dropping you short of the entrance.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Stalida. 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 Stalida 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: 178.0 km (110.6 mi), about 2 hr 30 min, and the same fixed fare from €264 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Stalida at the agreed time and takes you straight to Chania Airport.
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.
We set your departure pickup from your flight or sailing time and the 2 hr 30 min drive, then confirm the exact time on your voucher. Tell us your flight number at booking and we work backwards from it.
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.
