A private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Analipsis covers 18.9 km (11.7 mi) in about 18 minutes and costs a fixed fare from €36 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Airport, or the departure run back from Analipsis 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: Analipsis 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 Analipsis: 18.9 km (11.7 mi), about 18 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.
Analipsis sits between Gouves and Anissaras, 18.9 km east of Heraklion Airport and about 18 minutes away. The run leaves the airport perimeter straight onto the national road, so Heraklion is never entered and the drive ends before the resort traffic thickens. 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.
Analipsis is a small resort on the north coast between Gouves and Anissaras, on the stretch of shore east of Heraklion. Analipsis is quieter than the resorts either side of it, with development set along the coast road rather than concentrated around a centre.
The beaches are small sand and shingle bays rather than one long strip, and several of them sit below the road behind low rock.
Its position between Gouves and the Chersonissos hill villages puts most of the eastern coast's facilities within a few minutes without placing them on the doorstep.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, on the coast road or on the approaches down to the bays.
Analipsis runs along one road with unnumbered turnings down to the shore. Give the accommodation name at booking so the driver takes the right one.
The drive runs east on the national road for 18.9 kilometres and takes about 18 minutes. Analipsis sits between Gouves and Anissaras, early enough on the eastern coast that the journey is over before the road reaches the busiest resort traffic.
The car leaves the airport perimeter directly onto the national road, so Heraklion is never entered and the run is clear from the first minute.
Karteros, Amnissos, Kokkini Hani and Gournes pass in the first ten minutes, then Gouves at 15.4 kilometres. Analipsis follows immediately after it.
The resort is spread along the coast road rather than gathered around a centre, with unnumbered turnings running down to a series of small bays. That layout is why the accommodation name matters more here than the address, and why the last minute of the drive varies by where you are staying.
The KTEL coastal bus between Heraklion and the eastern resorts stops on the main road at Analipsis.
It runs from Heraklion's bus station rather than the airport, so the trip begins by heading into the city, and it sets you down above the resort with the walk down to the shore still to do. For a journey of 18 minutes by car that is a poor exchange with luggage.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Analipsis. 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 Analipsis 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: 18.9 km (11.7 mi), about 18 min, and the same fixed fare from €36 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Analipsis at the agreed time and takes you straight to Heraklion Airport.
Analipsis back to Heraklion Airport is the same 18.9 kilometres in reverse, at the same fixed fare.
Westbound traffic towards Heraklion builds from about 07:00, but Analipsis is close enough to the airport that an early flight needs less buffer than the resorts further east.
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 Analipsis we work back from your flight: about 18 minutes of driving, plus the check-in and security time your airline asks for, plus a short allowance for the coast road.
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.

Yes. The turnings down to the bays are unnumbered, so the property name is what tells the driver which one to take.
Gouves to the west and Anissaras to the east, both a few minutes along the coast road and both booked as their own transfers.
