A private transfer from Chania Town to Kissamos covers 40.0 km (24.9 mi) in about 41 minutes and costs a fixed fare from €72 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Chania Town, or the departure run back from Kissamos - Kastelli Kissamou 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 line is the road a driver actually takes from Chania Town to Kissamos - Kastelli Kissamou: 40.0 km (24.9 mi), about 41 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 comes to the door of your hotel, apartment or address in Chania at the time on your voucher. City pickups are door-to-door, so there is no meeting point to find.
Chania's old town sits behind the Venetian harbour, and most of it is pedestrianised. Chania's harbour lanes take no traffic at all, so where a hotel sits inside that zone the driver arranges the nearest point a car can legally stop, usually a few minutes' walk away, and confirms it before the day.
Tell us the hotel name as well as the street when you book. Old town addresses are frequently unnumbered and are far easier to find by name.
Journeys east to Rethymno, Georgioupolis and the north coast join the national road within a few minutes. Journeys west and south, towards Kissamos, Falasarna, Elafonissi and Paleochora, leave on slower roads that climb through the hills.
At your accommodation's entrance, or the closest legal stopping point when the address sits inside the pedestrian zone of the old town.
Your driver calls ahead if there is any doubt about where the vehicle can wait.
Give us the pickup address and a contact number at booking. Your driver waits at the agreed time and calls if the entrance is not reachable.
Tell us as early as you can if your plans change, so the driver can be rescheduled.
Kissamos, also written Kastelli Kissamou, is the main town of the far west of Crete, set at the head of the Gulf of Kissamos between the Rodopos and Gramvousa peninsulas. Kissamos is a working town rather than a resort, with a long seafront, a working port and an archaeological museum holding the Roman mosaics found in the area.
The town has two beaches of its own, Mavros Molos to the west and Telonio to the east, and a centre that runs a few streets back from the water.
Its port is the reason many visitors come. Boats to Balos lagoon and Gramvousa island leave from Kissamos, and the ferry along the west coast to Kythira and the Peloponnese sails from the same quay.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, in the town or along the coast either side of it.
Kissamos spreads over several kilometres of seafront and many properties sit on unnamed lanes above the road. Give the accommodation name at booking as well as the address.
Your driver comes to the door of your Chania address at the time on the voucher. Where that address sits inside the old town, which most of the harbour quarter does, the car waits at the nearest point it can legally stop and you are told which one before the day.
The drive runs west for 40.0 kilometres and takes about 41 minutes, ending at the town that serves the far west. Kissamos is where the Balos and Gramvousa boats leave from and where the Kythira ferry docks, so this route is often booked against a sailing.
The resort strip comes first, as far as Maleme and Tavronitis.
Kolymbari and the neck of the Rodopos peninsula follow, and the road then turns inland to cross it.
The Gulf of Kissamos opens on the far side, with Drapanias on the way in. The port is a short distance from the town centre and is a separate drop-off point, which matters when the boat leaves at a fixed hour. Kissamos is a working town rather than a resort, with a long seafront, an archaeological museum holding Roman mosaics found locally, and two beaches of its own at Mavros Molos and Telonio. Most visitors passing through are heading for a boat rather than staying, which is why the port and the town are separate drop-offs on this route. From a city pickup this is the shortest approach to the far west that anyone books. Kissamos is 40.0 kilometres from Chania Town against 56.3 from the airport out on Akrotiri, so a visitor already staying in the city reaches the Balos quay in about forty minutes.
The KTEL coach from Chania to Kissamos runs regularly and takes about an hour.
It is a genuine option for anyone already near the station and travelling light. Against a Balos sailing or the Kythira ferry it is the fixed departure that carries the risk rather than the fare.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Kissamos - Kastelli Kissamou. 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 Kissamos - Kastelli Kissamou 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: 40.0 km (24.9 mi), about 41 min, and the same fixed fare from €72 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Kissamos - Kastelli Kissamou at the agreed time and takes you straight to Chania Town.
Kissamos back into Chania is the same 40.0 kilometres at the same fare.
Eastbound mornings are the slow direction, as the coast road fills towards the city.
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.
Forty-one minutes of driving plus the boarding or check-in time you have been given, plus a margin for the strip.
Tell us the sailing at booking and the pickup is set against boarding rather than the printed departure.
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.
