A private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Adelianos Kampos covers 75.0 km (46.6 mi) in about 1 hr 2 min and costs a fixed fare from €82 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Airport, or the departure run back from Adelianos Kampos - Adele 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: Adelianos Kampos - Adele back to Heraklion 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 Heraklion Airport (HER) to Adelianos Kampos - Adele: 75.0 km (46.6 mi), about 1 hr 2 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.
The 75.0 km drive west from Heraklion Airport ends on the beach strip before Rethymno rather than in the city itself, about 1 hour 2 minutes door to door. Bali and Panormos pass below their own turnings on the inland section behind the headlands. Filmed along the route a private transfer follows.
Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall at Heraklion Airport, holding a sign with your name on it. Your transfer starts there rather than at a taxi rank, so there is no queue to join and no fare to agree on the spot.
Heraklion International Airport (HER) is Crete's main gateway and handled 4,039,249 international arrivals in 2025. Heraklion International Airport concentrates its arrivals into one short terminal, which keeps the walk from baggage reclaim to the meeting area brief even at peak season.
The driver confirms your name and destination, loads your luggage, and leaves from the airport car park. Nothing is settled on the day when you have paid online, and the fare on your voucher does not change.
The airport sits on the coast road immediately east of Heraklion city, which puts every eastern resort on a direct run without crossing town. Westbound journeys join the same national road in the opposite direction.
Inside the arrivals hall, past baggage reclaim, at the transfers meeting area. Your driver holds a name sign that matches the booking.
Look for the sign rather than a taxi rank or a car park level. The phone number on your voucher reaches a person who can locate your driver, if the sign is not where you expect it.
Give us your flight number at booking. Your pickup is then scheduled against that flight rather than against a clock time, and the driver is told to arrive later when the flight lands late.
Tell us as early as you can when a flight is cancelled or rerouted, so the driver can be reassigned.
Adelianos Kampos is the beach strip immediately east of Rethymno, and Adele is the older village on the slope above it. Adelianos Kampos is where most of Rethymno's larger beach hotels stand, set along the sand between the city and Platanias with the national road behind them.
The beach here is a continuation of Rethymno's own, wide and sandy, and it runs east without interruption for several kilometres.
Adele, uphill and inland, is a separate place: a village with a square and tavernas, older than the resort and quieter than it.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, on the beach strip or up in Adele.
The strip is several kilometres long and its hotels sit on service roads off the main one. Give the hotel name at booking rather than only the area, so the driver takes the right turning.
The drive runs west along the north coast for 75.0 kilometres and takes about 1 hr 2 min, ending on the beach strip before Rethymno rather than in the city.
The car joins the national road at the edge of Heraklion and passes the city on its seaward side, with Ammoudara marking the end of the built-up area.
The cliffs above Agia Pelagia follow, then the inland section behind the headlands where Bali and Panormos sit below their own turnings.
Skaleta at 69.4 kilometres returns the road to the shoreline, and the strip begins there: Sfakaki, then Adelianos Kampos, then Platanias closest to the city.
Adele is the older village on the slope inland from the beach, a separate place with a square and tavernas. The two names are used interchangeably on booking sites and they are not the same address, which is worth settling before the day rather than at the turning. Most of Rethymno's larger beach hotels stand on this strip rather than in the city, which is why a booking that says Rethymno often means here. The old town is a short drive west along the seafront rather than a walk from most of it.
The intercity coach passes on the national road above the strip but does not serve it.
Reaching a hotel here by public transport means the coach to Rethymno, then a local bus or taxi back east along the beach road, after first getting from the airport into Heraklion's bus station.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Adelianos Kampos - Adele. There is no central drop-off point and no walk with your luggage at the end.

Adelianos Kampos back to the airport is the same 75.0 kilometres at the same fixed fare.
The strip feeds onto the national road through a small number of junctions, so leaving is quick. The Heraklion approach at the far end is what the margin covers.
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.
About 1 hr 2 min of driving, the check-in and security time your airline asks for, and a margin for the Heraklion approach.

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.

These are the questions guests ask most often about the Heraklion Airport to Adelianos Kampos - Adele transfer, answered with this route's own distance, duration and fares.
Anything not covered here is answered when we confirm the booking.
A private transfer costs a fixed €82 for a Standard car carrying up to 3 passengers. A Minivan for up to 8 people is €125.
Neighbours rather than the same address. Adele is the older village on the slope inland; Adelianos Kampos is the beach strip below it.
They are close to level. This strip is 78.0 kilometres from Chania Airport against 75.0 from Heraklion, so the flight decides rather than the distance.
Rethymno is 80.5 kilometres from this airport, so the city sits a few minutes west of the strip.
Not quite. Most of the larger beach hotels are on this strip; the old town is a short drive west.
Very nearly. Skaleta is 69.4 kilometres from this terminal at €80 for a Standard car, Sfakaki 72.7 at €82, Adelianos Kampos 75.0 at €82 and Platanias 76.9 at €82. Four settlements on one beach, two euros between them.
Amira Beach Luxury Resort and Spa, Maravel and Helidonia Villas are the properties of any size, split between the shore and the older village of Adele on the slope above it.
It continues from it. The city's sand runs east without a break into Adelianos Kampos, which is why the old town is a walk from the western end of the strip.
Per vehicle. The fare covers the car and everyone in it, up to that vehicle's passenger and luggage limit. Two people and four people pay the same €82 for a Standard car to Adelianos Kampos - Adele.
