A private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Agia Fotia covers 106.0 km (65.9 mi) in about 1 hr 29 min and costs a fixed fare from €105 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Airport, or the departure run back from Agia Fotia 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 Heraklion Airport (HER) to Agia Fotia: 106.0 km (65.9 mi), about 1 hr 29 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 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.
Agia Fotia is a small coastal settlement on the south-east of Crete, between Ferma and Koutsouras on the road east from Ierapetra. Agia Fotia sits around a sheltered cove with a shingle beach, backed by a narrow strip of flat ground and then the hills.
Development is a handful of apartments and tavernas rather than hotels, and the settlement is small enough to cross on foot in a few minutes.
The coast either side is thinly built, with Makrigialos and its long sand a short drive further east.
We drop you at the door of your apartment, rooms or house in the settlement.
Agia Fotia is small and its lanes run down from the coast road to the cove. Give the property name at booking, since the turnings are unnamed.
The drive crosses to the south-east coast, 106.0 kilometres in about 1 hr 29 min. Agia Fotia is one of a run of small settlements east of Ierapetra, each a few kilometres from the next along the same road above the water.
The route east is the national road as far as Pachia Ammos, then the isthmus crossing where Crete narrows to about 12 kilometres.
Ierapetra arrives at 93.3 kilometres, with the greenhouse belt spreading either side of the approach.
The last stretch runs east above the shore. Ferma comes at 104.0 kilometres, Agia Fotia at 106.0 and Koutsouras at 115.0, so the three are within a few minutes of each other and their names on a booking matter more than the distances do. Agia Fotia itself is a sheltered cove with a shingle beach and a handful of buildings around it. This is one of the routes where the fare rises with distance rather than in bands. Ierapetra is 93.3 kilometres from this airport, Koutsounari 102.0, Ferma 104.0 and Agia Fotia 106.0, and each carries its own fixed price rather than a shared regional one.
The public route needs two changes and a thin local service at the end.
A coach from Heraklion to Agios Nikolaos, a second to Ierapetra, then the eastbound coastal bus. The first leg starts from Heraklion's bus station rather than the airport, and the last runs infrequently outside the summer.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Agia Fotia. 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 Agia Fotia 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: 106.0 km (65.9 mi), about 1 hr 29 min, and the same fixed fare from €105 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Agia Fotia at the agreed time and takes you straight to Heraklion Airport.
Agia Fotia back to Heraklion Airport is the same 106.0 kilometres in reverse, at the same fixed fare.
Early flights mean starting on the south coast in the dark, and the resort strip west of Agios Nikolaos follows, so morning pickups are set well ahead of the driving time.
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 Agia Fotia we work back from your flight: about 1 hr 29 min of driving, plus the check-in and security time your airline asks for, plus a buffer for the north coast strip.
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.
