A private transfer from Heraklion Town to Analipsis covers 23.0 km (14.3 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 Town, 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 line is the road a driver actually takes from Heraklion Town to Analipsis: 23.0 km (14.3 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 comes to the door of your hotel, apartment or address in Heraklion at the time on your voucher. City pickups are door-to-door, so there is no meeting point to find and no walk with luggage.
Heraklion is Crete's capital and largest city, and its centre is a dense grid of one-way and pedestrianised streets inside the Venetian walls. Heraklion's older streets will not take a vehicle at all, so where an address sits behind a pedestrian zone the driver arranges the nearest point a car can legally stop and tells you where that is before the day.
Give the exact address and the hotel name when you book. A street name alone is not always enough in the centre, where numbering restarts across districts.
Journeys east towards Hersonissos, Malia and Agios Nikolaos leave on the national road without crossing the centre. Journeys south to Matala and the Messara plain climb out through the Venetian gate and over the hills.
At your accommodation's entrance, or the closest legal stopping point when the address sits inside a pedestrian zone.
Your driver calls ahead if there is any doubt about where the vehicle can wait.
Give us the pickup address and a contact number at booking. Your driver waits at the agreed time and calls if the entrance is not accessible.
Tell us as early as you can if your plans change, so the driver can be rescheduled.
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 for 23.0 kilometres and takes about 25 minutes, to the quiet stretch between Gouves and Anissaras.
Four of the resorts on this coast cost the same from a city address, which takes the fare out of the decision entirely. Kokkini Hani at 14.0 kilometres, Gouves at 19.5, Analipsis at 23.0 and Anissaras at 26.4 are all €36 for a Standard car; Chersonissos, only three hundred metres further than Anissaras, is €38. Twelve kilometres of coast, one price.
The coast 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 is the practical point. The property name identifies the drop-off far better than any address does, and there is no strip or one-way system to negotiate at the end: the driver takes the turning your accommodation sits on and stops at the door. A guest still choosing between these four is choosing between small bays and a strip rather than between distances or fares.
What is here is bigger than the map suggests. Lyttos Beach, Hotel Stella Palace, Stella Island Luxury Resort and Spa and the TUI Sensatori resort all stand within about a kilometre of the centre, alongside smaller places like Venus Mare Apartments and Elpida Apartments. Several thousand beds sit on a stretch with no resort centre at all, which is why the turning is identified by the property rather than by a sign.
The coastal bus will set you down on the main road at Analipsis.
It runs from Heraklion's bus station rather than your accommodation, and the walk down an unnumbered turning to the shore is the part that tells 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: 23.0 km (14.3 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 Town.
Analipsis back into Heraklion is the same 23.0 kilometres at the same fixed fare.
Westbound the resort road builds from about seven, and the Chersonissos section further east is the slowest part of 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, plus any check-in or terminal time, plus an allowance for the coast road.
Send the details with the booking and the pickup time is printed 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.

Between Gouves and Anissaras on the coast east of Heraklion, 23.0 kilometres from the city centre.
The turnings down to the bays are unnumbered, so the name is what tells the driver which one to take.
As close as the street allows. Where the address sits behind a pedestrianised section, your driver arranges the nearest legal stopping point and confirms it in advance.
Gouves at 19.5 kilometres from Heraklion and Anissaras at 26.4, with Chersonissos just beyond.
No. Kokkini Hani at 14.0 kilometres, Gouves at 19.5, Analipsis at 23.0 and Anissaras at 26.4 are all €36 for a Standard car from a city address.
The resorts along the coast road, among them Lyttos Beach, Hotel Stella Palace, Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa, TUI Sensatori Resort Crete and Venus Mare Apartments.
