A private transfer from Heraklion Port to Analipsis covers 22.3 km (13.9 mi) in about 25 minutes and costs a fixed fare from €36 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Port, 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 Port 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 Port to Analipsis: 22.3 km (13.9 mi), about 25 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 in front of the Passenger Terminal at Heraklion Port, holding a banner with your name and the company name on it. Ferry arrivals cluster, so the terminal forecourt fills quickly; the banner is what makes your car findable in it.
Heraklion Port sits inside the city, a few minutes from the centre and about 4 kilometres from the airport. Heraklion Port is the island's main ferry gateway, taking the overnight sailings from Piraeus as well as the routes from Santorini, Mykonos, Paros and Naxos.
Overnight ferries from Piraeus dock early in the morning, which is the port's busiest window and the one where on-demand taxis are hardest to find. A pre-booked car is already waiting when the ramp goes down.
Cruise calls berth at the same port area and follow the same procedure.
In front of the Passenger Terminal, where your driver waits with a banner showing your name and ours.
Stay at the terminal rather than walking out to the road. The port approach is one-way and busy at docking time, and the vehicle cannot stop on it.
Give us your ferry or cruise line and arrival time at booking. We track sailing arrivals as well as flights, so a late docking moves the pickup rather than costing you the transfer.
Tell us as early as you can if your sailing is cancelled or diverted to another port, 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 car leaves the port gate and runs east for 22.3 kilometres, about 25 minutes, to the quiet stretch between Gouves and Anissaras.
The national road carries the whole route, past the city beaches, Kokkini Hani, Gournes and Gouves.
Analipsis 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 means the property name identifies the drop-off far better than any address does.
It is also what makes an early arrival straightforward here. There is no strip to negotiate and no one-way system; the driver takes the turning your accommodation sits on and stops at the door, which at half past six in the morning takes no longer than it says. The eastern coast is priced settlement by settlement and the steps are small: Gouves at 18.9 kilometres from the quay, Analipsis at 22.3, Anissaras at 25.8 and Chersonissos beyond. Each has its own fare rather than sharing a band. Timing is the one thing worth checking before booking a small resort from a dawn ferry. Analipsis has no reception desk staffed through the night in most of its properties, so a room at seven is unlikely and a message to the owner in advance is worth more than an early pickup.
The coastal bus will set you down on the main road at Analipsis, but it runs from Heraklion's bus station rather than the quay.
That means the city first after a night on the boat, then a wait, then a walk down an unlit turning to the shore. The fare saving is real; the morning is not.
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: 22.3 km (13.9 mi), about 25 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 Port.
Analipsis back to the port is the same 22.3 kilometres at the same fixed price.
Westbound the resort road builds from about seven, and the Chersonissos section beyond is the slowest part, so an afternoon sailing needs a margin for it.
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.
Twenty-five minutes of driving, the terminal time required by your ferry line, and an allowance for the coast road.
Send the sailing with your booking and the pickup is set against boarding rather than the printed departure.
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.

Between Gouves and Anissaras on the coast east of Heraklion, 22.3 kilometres from the port.
The turnings down to the bays are unnumbered, so the name is what tells the driver which one to take.
Considerably. It is smaller and spread out, with small bays rather than one resort beach.
Gouves at 18.9 kilometres from the port and Anissaras at 25.8, with Chersonissos beyond them.
Not necessarily. Most properties here are small, so tell the owner the ferry docks at six and agree where luggage can go.
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 €36 for a Standard car to Analipsis.
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 ferry operator and sailing time when you book. We track arrivals, so a late docking moves the pickup rather than costing you the transfer.
