A private transfer from Chania Town to Sitia Port covers 266.0 km (165.3 mi) in about 4 hr 0 min and costs a fixed fare from €350 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Chania Town, or the departure run back from Sitia Port 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 Sitia Port: 266.0 km (165.3 mi), about 4 hr 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.
Sitia Port is the harbour of Sitia, at the eastern end of Crete's north coast. Sitia Port is the island's link to the Dodecanese: ferries from here call at Kasos, Karpathos and Rhodes, and the Piraeus service uses the same quay.
The harbour sits at the end of the town's palm-lined seafront, a few hundred metres from the centre and below the Kazarma fortress.
Traffic here is thinner than at the western ports, and sailings are less frequent, which makes meeting a specific boat more important than at Heraklion or Souda.
We meet you at the passenger quay, where the driver waits with a banner showing your name and ours.
Sailings here are infrequent and a missed connection can mean a long wait. Give the operator and sailing time at booking so the pickup is set against boarding rather than the printed departure.
The drive covers 266.0 kilometres in about 4 hr 0 min and ends at the passenger quay at the eastern end of Crete's north coast.
This is a journey between the island's two ferry ends. Souda, the harbour that serves Chania, takes the overnight boat from Piraeus; Sitia Port sends boats the other way, to Kasos, Karpathos and Rhodes. Four hours of road separates the two, and passengers linking a western arrival to a Dodecanese sailing are the reason this route exists.
Your driver collects you in Chania and is on the national road within a few minutes. The road climbs past Aptera above Souda Bay, then runs the Apokoronas slope past Kalyves, Vamos and Gavalochori before dropping to Georgioupolis and Kavros.
Rethymno comes at about a quarter of the distance, then the Milopotamos headlands at Panormos and Bali, then Fodele, Agia Pelagia and Ammoudara.
Heraklion passes on the bypass at roughly the midpoint, and the eastern resorts follow to Malia. Beyond Sissi and Milatos the road empties out, and Agios Nikolaos, Istron and the eastern hills carry the last hour.
Sitia's quay sits at the end of the palm-lined seafront, below the Kazarma. The drop-off is at the passenger terminal itself rather than at the town.
Timing is the whole problem with this booking, and it is worth being blunt about it. Sailings from Sitia are infrequent, so a boat missed here is not a boat caught an hour later; give us the operator and the sailing time and the pickup is set against boarding.
Public transport connects Chania to Sitia in about a day, and it does not connect reliably to a boat.
The coach to Heraklion runs close to three hours, the eastern service on to Sitia several more, and the quay is then a walk from the station. Two changes and a walk with luggage, against a car that leaves your door and stops at the terminal.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Sitia Port. 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 Sitia Port 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: 266.0 km (165.3 mi), about 4 hr, and the same fixed fare from €350 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Sitia Port at the agreed time and takes you straight to Chania Town.
Sitia Port back to Chania covers the same 266.0 kilometres at the same fixed price.
Boats from Kasos and Karpathos dock at their own hours rather than convenient ones, and the driver waits with a banner regardless. Westbound the eastern hill section comes first, while you are least inclined to it, and Heraklion is still two hours away after that.
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.
Allow about 4 hr 0 min of driving, the boarding time your ferry line requires, and a margin for the eastern hills and the Heraklion, Rethymno and Chania approaches.
Send the operator and sailing when you book. Your pickup is worked back from boarding rather than from the printed departure time, and it goes on the 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.

The Dodecanese route, calling at Kasos, Karpathos and Rhodes, and the service on to Piraeus. All of them use the same passenger quay.
At the passenger terminal on the quay, at the end of Sitia's seafront. The town centre is a few hundred metres away and the fortress stands on the hill directly above.
Within a euro. The quay is 266.0 kilometres from Chania and the town 267.0, and the SUV fare is €350 here against €351 there. Book the point you actually need rather than the cheaper one.
Tell us the operator at booking and we track the sailing. A later boarding moves the pickup rather than costing you the transfer.
