A private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Agia Marina covers 149.0 km (92.6 mi) in about 2 hr 5 min and costs a fixed fare from €155 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Airport, or the departure run back from Agia Marina - Chania 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 Marina - Chania: 149.0 km (92.6 mi), about 2 hr 5 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 Marina is a beach resort on the coast west of Chania, running along one continuous sand strip that also carries Stalos to its east and Platanias to its west. Agia Marina faces the islet of Agioi Theodoroi, a protected reserve for the Cretan wild goat that sits about a kilometre offshore and is visible from most of the beach.
The resort is built along the old coast road rather than around a village centre, so hotels, apartments and tavernas run in a line rather than a cluster. Almost everything is within walking distance of the sand.
Agia Marina is 29.7 kilometres from Chania Airport and close enough to Chania itself for the city to be an evening out rather than an excursion, which is the main reason people choose this strip over the resorts further west.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa anywhere along the strip, including addresses on the old coast road and those set back from it.
Agia Marina, Stalos and Platanias share the same seafront and their addresses can look alike. Give the accommodation name at booking so the driver stops at the right one.
The drive crosses the island west, 149.0 kilometres in about 2 hr 5 min, to the resort strip beyond Chania.
Two hours is a long transfer to a resort that sits 29.7 kilometres from Chania Airport. This route exists because flights are cheaper into Heraklion, and the page says so rather than pretending the drive is a feature.
What the drive does buy, once you are committed to it, is the cheapest fare on the strip. Stalos is 148.0 kilometres from this terminal and costs €165 for a Standard car. Platanias is 154.0 and also €165. Agia Marina, between the two at 149.0, is €155. The middle resort on one continuous beach is a kilometre further than Stalos and ten euros less.
The clock behaves the same way. Agia Marina and Platanias are both quoted at about 2 hr 5 min although five kilometres separate them, while Stalos, the nearest of the three, is quoted at about 2 hr 20.
Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall and the car joins the national road at the edge of Heraklion, passing the city on its seaward side. The north coast follows: the cliffs above Agia Pelagia, the inland stretch behind Bali and Panormos, and Rethymno at 80.5 kilometres.
West of Rethymno the road runs through Georgioupolis and Apokoronas and climbs over Aptera with Souda Bay below. Chania is skirted on the bypass, the western suburbs follow, and Stalos and Agia Marina come up on the continuous beach with the Agioi Theodoroi islet a kilometre offshore.
The resort runs in a line rather than a cluster, everything within walking distance of the sand. Atrion Resort Hotel, Coral, Caldera Village, Oscar Suites and Village and Amalthia stand along the old coast road, and the three resorts on this beach carry addresses that look alike, so the accommodation name is what fixes the stop.
The KTEL coach from Heraklion to Chania takes close to 3 hours, then a city bus covers the western strip.
Two legs plus a change and a walk from the stop, after first reaching Heraklion's bus station from the airport. Around four hours in total against two by car, and the last leg sets you down on the main road rather than at a hotel entrance.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Agia Marina - Chania. 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 Marina - Chania 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: 149.0 km (92.6 mi), about 2 hr 5 min, and the same fixed fare from €155 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Agia Marina - Chania at the agreed time and takes you straight to Heraklion Airport.
Agia Marina back to Heraklion Airport is the same 149.0 kilometres at the same fixed price.
The strip and the Chania bypass are slower eastbound in the morning, then the Rethymno bypass and the Heraklion approach follow, so an early flight means leaving before dawn.
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 2 hr 5 min of driving, the check-in and security time your airline asks for, and margins for the strip, the Chania bypass, the Rethymno bypass and the Heraklion approach.
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.
