A private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Ferma covers 104.0 km (64.6 mi) in about 1 hr 30 min and costs a fixed fare from €115 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Airport, or the departure run back from Ferma 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: Ferma 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 Ferma: 104.0 km (64.6 mi), about 1 hr 30 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.
Ferma is a coastal settlement on the south-east of Crete, between Ierapetra and Koutsounari. Ferma is built along a series of small rocky coves rather than one beach, which is the main difference between it and the long shingle shores either side.
Accommodation is mostly hotels and apartment complexes set above the coves, with steps or short paths down to the water.
The coast road runs behind, and Ierapetra, the nearest town of any size, is a few kilometres west.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa above the coves.
Ferma's properties sit on short access roads off the coast road, several of them unnamed. Give the property name at booking so the driver takes the right turning.
The drive crosses to the south-east coast, 104.0 kilometres in about 1 hr 30 min. Ferma sits on the shore between Ierapetra and Koutsounari, on a stretch built around rocky coves rather than a continuous beach.
The route east runs the national road to Agios Nikolaos and along Mirabello Bay to Pachia Ammos.
The isthmus follows, a few minutes of road between the two seas, and Ierapetra arrives at 93.3 kilometres with its greenhouses spreading either side.
The last 10 kilometres run east above the water. Ferma's hotels sit on the low ground above a series of small coves, each reached by steps or a short path down, and their access roads leave the coast road at unnamed turnings. That layout is the reason the property name matters more here than the address.
Three settlements share this short piece of coast and each is priced separately from this airport: Ierapetra at 93.3 kilometres, Ferma at 104.0 and Koutsounari at 102.0. They run into one another along the same road, so the property name rather than the area is what tells the driver where to stop.
The public route needs two changes and finishes with a thin local service.
A coach from Heraklion to Agios Nikolaos, a second to Ierapetra, then the eastbound coast service. The first leg also starts from Heraklion's bus station rather than the airport, so an arrival at any awkward hour has no workable public option.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Ferma. 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 Ferma 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: 104.0 km (64.6 mi), about 1 hr 30 min, and the same fixed fare from €115 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Ferma at the agreed time and takes you straight to Heraklion Airport.
Ferma back to Heraklion Airport is the same 104.0 kilometres in reverse, at the same fixed fare.
The isthmus is quick in either direction, so the timing is decided by the resort coast west of Agios Nikolaos, which is slowest westbound in the middle of the morning.
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 Ferma we work back from your flight: about 1 hr 30 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.
