A private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Bali covers 52.8 km (32.8 mi) in about 48 minutes and costs a fixed fare from €65 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Airport, or the departure run back from Bali 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: Bali back to Heraklion Airport costs the same as the arrival leg. Child and booster seats are added at booking, at no extra charge.
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.
Bali is a resort on the north coast of the Rethymno region, built around four small coves rather than a single beach. Bali sits well below the national road, reached by a descent of about 2 kilometres, which is why it is invisible to anyone driving past.
The coves, Livadi, Varkotopo, Karavostasi and the harbour beach, are each small and separated by rock, and the village climbs the slopes between and above them.
That layout decides how a stay here feels. Distances between the coves are short but steep, and accommodation is described by which cove it sits above rather than by street.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, at whichever cove it sits above.
Bali's roads are steep, narrow and in places one-way. Tell us which cove or which hotel at booking, because an address given only as Bali does not identify where in the village to go.
The drive runs west along the north coast for 52.8 kilometres and takes about 48 minutes. Bali is invisible from the national road, sitting some 2 kilometres below it at the bottom of a descent, which is the part of this journey worth knowing about in advance.
The car joins the national road at the edge of Heraklion and passes the city on its seaward side, so the centre is never entered. Ammoudara marks the end of the built-up area.
From there the road climbs onto the cliffs above Lygaria and Agia Pelagia, then cuts inland behind the headland at Fodele, El Greco's birthplace, before returning towards the coast. The sea is out of sight for several kilometres of that section.
The Bali turning drops sharply from the main road towards the sea. The village is built around four separate coves on a steep site, so the final minutes are slow and the cove your accommodation sits above decides where the car can stop.
The KTEL coach between Heraklion and Rethymno passes the Bali junction on the national road above the village.
Being set down there leaves a descent of about 2 kilometres, steep enough that few people walk it with luggage and long enough that a taxi is usually called anyway. The coach also runs from Heraklion's bus station rather than the airport.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Bali. 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 Bali 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: 52.8 km (32.8 mi), about 48 min, and the same fixed fare from €65 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Bali at the agreed time and takes you straight to Heraklion Airport.
Bali back to Heraklion Airport is the same 52.8 kilometres in reverse, at the same fixed fare.
The climb out of the village to the national road takes several minutes on its own, so departure pickups from Bali are set earlier than the road distance suggests.
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 Bali we work back from your flight: about 48 minutes of driving, plus the check-in and security time your airline asks for, plus an allowance for the climb out of the village.
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.

About 48 min for the 52.8 km (32.8 mi) route. The national road runs at a steady speed; the descent into the village is what adds the last few minutes.
Whichever one your accommodation sits above, or simply the hotel name. Bali's four coves are connected by steep, narrow and partly one-way roads, so an address given only as Bali does not tell the driver where to go.
Panormos, at 60.7 kilometres from Heraklion Airport against 52.8 to Bali. It is booked as its own transfer.
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 €65 for a Standard car to Bali.
Yes, at no extra charge. Reserve the seat in the booking form and state the child's age so the correct infant, child or booster seat is fitted before the driver sets off.
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.
Inside the arrivals hall, at the exit, where the driver waits with a board showing your name. You do not need to find a taxi rank or a car park level.
Yes. Cancel at least 24 hours before your pickup time and there is no charge.

Yes. Heraklion Airport to Bali and Bali to Heraklion Airport are the same journey at the same fixed €65, 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.
