A private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Agioi Apostoloi covers 144.0 km (89.5 mi) in about 2 hr 15 min and costs a fixed fare from €160 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Airport, or the departure run back from Agioi Apostoloi 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: Agioi Apostoloi 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 Agioi Apostoloi: 144.0 km (89.5 mi), about 2 hr 15 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.
Agioi Apostoloi is a beach district on the western edge of Chania, built around a small headland that shelters a series of coves. Agioi Apostoloi has the calmest water close to the city, because the headland breaks the swell that reaches the open beaches further west.
The coves are sand and shingle, backed by pine trees in places, and a park runs along the shore behind them.
The district sits within the built-up area of Chania rather than outside it, which puts the old town and the Venetian harbour a short drive away along the coast.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, at the coves or in the streets behind them.
The roads down to the individual coves are short and narrow, and several end at the shore. Your driver uses the nearest point a car can turn and confirms it before the day.
The drive crosses the island to the western edge of Chania, 144.0 kilometres in about 2 hr 15 min.
The north coast covers most of it: past Heraklion and Rethymno, through Georgioupolis and Apokoronas, then over Aptera with Souda Bay below.
Chania is skirted rather than crossed and the road picks up the western shore beyond it.
Agioi Apostoloi is the first of the beach districts on that side, built around a headland that shelters a run of small coves. Those coves have the calmest water near the city, which is why families from Chania use them rather than the open beaches further west.
One thing to know before booking: the engine sells a single vehicle class on this route, a Standard car for up to 3 passengers. A larger party needs to contact us rather than assume a Minivan is available, which is not the case on most of our routes. A shoreline park runs behind the coves with pines above them, which is unusual this close to a Cretan city centre. It is the reason the district works as a family beach rather than only as the nearest sand to Chania.
No direct public service covers this.
The route would be a coach from Heraklion to Chania, close to 3 hours, then a city bus back out west, after first reaching Heraklion's bus station from the airport. Three legs for a beach district that sits 16.4 kilometres from Chania Airport.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Agioi Apostoloi. 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 Agioi Apostoloi 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: 144.0 km (89.5 mi), about 2 hr 15 min, and the same fixed fare from €160 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Agioi Apostoloi at the agreed time and takes you straight to Heraklion Airport.
Agioi Apostoloi back to Heraklion Airport is the same 144.0 kilometres at the same fixed fare.
The city section is slow eastbound in the morning, then the Rethymno bypass and the Heraklion approach follow, so an early flight means leaving well 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 15 min of driving, the check-in and security time your airline asks for, and margins for the Chania end, 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.
These are the questions guests ask most often about the Heraklion Airport to Agioi Apostoloi 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 €160 for a Standard car carrying up to 3 passengers.
The engine sells only the Standard car here, unlike most of our routes. Contact us before booking if there are more than three of you.
Far closer. Agioi Apostoloi is 16.4 kilometres from Chania Airport against 144.0 from Heraklion.
A headland shelters the coves from the swell that reaches the open beaches west of Stalos.
A short drive east along the coast, which is what makes these coves the calmest water within reach of the city rather than a resort in their own right.
Sheltered coves behind a headland, with pines and a shoreline park behind them. Chrissi Akti, another of the city beaches, sits immediately alongside.
Ammos Hotel, Domes Noruz Chania, Hotel Cretan Dream and Yakinthos Hotel are among the properties along this stretch.
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 €160 for a Standard car to Agioi Apostoloi.

Give us your flight number when you book. We track the flight and move the pickup to match the actual landing time, so a delay does not cost you the transfer.

You receive a confirmation email with your route, vehicle, pickup time and fare on it. Check the details and tell us if anything is wrong. An automated receipt on its own is not the confirmation. The emailed voucher is.
Yes. Heraklion Airport to Agioi Apostoloi and Agioi Apostoloi to Heraklion Airport are the same journey at the same fixed €160, and both directions are booked from this page. Select a return when you book and the price is held for both legs.
Those routes are priced the same way as this one: a fixed fare per vehicle, confirmed before you travel. The same applies to every taxi in Crete we run, from the airports and ports to the resorts and villages along both coasts.
