A private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Heraklion Port covers 4.0 km (2.5 mi) in about 10 minutes and costs a fixed fare from €34 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Airport, or the departure run back from Heraklion Port 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: Heraklion Port 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 Heraklion Port: 4.0 km (2.5 mi), about 10 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.
Heraklion Port is the main passenger harbour of Crete, on the eastern side of the city beside the Venetian basin. Heraklion Port handles the overnight ferries to Piraeus and the routes to the Cyclades, and cruise ships berth at the same quays through the summer.
The passenger terminal sits about 4 kilometres from Heraklion Airport and roughly a kilometre from the city centre, close enough that the walls and the old harbour are visible from the quay.
Arrival hours here are unlike an airport's. The Piraeus overnight sailing docks around six in the morning, which puts passengers in the city hours before any hotel check-in.
We meet you in front of the passenger terminal, where the driver waits with a banner showing your name and ours.
Ferry passengers all reach the quay at once, which is what the banner is for. For a departure, tell us the operator and sailing time so the pickup is set against boarding rather than the printed departure.
The drive covers 4.0 kilometres in about 10 minutes and connects the island's main airport to its main passenger harbour. Both sit on the eastern side of Heraklion within sight of the same stretch of coast, so this is the shortest connection we sell between two arrival points.
The road leaves the terminal and runs west along the shore above the port, with the city on the left and the water on the right the whole way.
The passenger terminal is entered from the coastal road rather than through the city, so the one-way system inside the walls never comes into it.
The reason to book this one is the connection rather than the distance. A flight landing late and a ferry boarding an hour later leave no room for finding a taxi, and the driver holding your name at arrivals is what removes that risk.
A city bus runs between the airport and central Heraklion, and the port is a walk from the nearest stop.
Over 4 kilometres the saving is a few euros. Against it: a walk at the end with luggage, on a schedule that does not know your flight landed late, at an hour when a missed sailing costs a night. For a connection with a hard deadline that trade rarely makes sense.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Heraklion Port. 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 Heraklion Port 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: 4.0 km (2.5 mi), about 10 min, and the same fixed fare from €34 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Heraklion Port at the agreed time and takes you straight to Heraklion Airport.
Heraklion Port back to the airport is the same 4.0 kilometres in reverse, at the same fixed fare.
Ferry arrivals cluster: the Piraeus overnight docks around six and everyone leaves the terminal at once. A pre-booked car is waiting when that happens rather than joining the queue it creates.
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 port pickup we work back from your sailing: about 10 minutes of driving, plus the terminal time your ferry line asks for, which is well before the departure printed on the ticket.
Give us the operator and sailing time at booking and the exact pickup 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 Heraklion Port 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 from Heraklion Airport to Heraklion Port costs a fixed €34 for a Standard car carrying up to 3 passengers. A Minivan for up to 8 people is €55.
About 10 min for the 4.0 km (2.5 mi) route. Both points sit on the eastern side of the city and the road between them runs along the coast rather than through the centre.
The driving takes about 10 minutes, so the margin is comfortable on paper. Give us both the flight number and the sailing time at booking, so the pickup is set against the landing we track rather than the scheduled one.
In front of the passenger terminal, with a banner showing your name and ours. Ferry passengers all reach the quay at once, which is what the banner is for.
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 €34 for a Standard car to Heraklion Port.
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.
Pay by card online when you book, or in euros in cash to the driver. There is no card surcharge and no booking fee either way.
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 Heraklion Port and Heraklion Port to Heraklion Airport are the same journey at the same fixed €34, 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.
