A private transfer from Heraklion Town to Georgioupolis covers 101.0 km (62.8 mi) in about 1 hr 31 min and costs a fixed fare from €105 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Heraklion Town, or the departure run back from Georgioupolis 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 Georgioupolis: 101.0 km (62.8 mi), about 1 hr 31 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.
Georgioupolis is a resort village on the north coast between Rethymno and Chania, built where the Almiros river meets the sea. Georgioupolis is known for the small chapel of Agios Nikolaos, which stands on a rock offshore and is reached by a narrow stone causeway running out from the beach.
The beach runs for several kilometres east of the village and is one of the longest on the island. The sea shelves gently near the river mouth and can be lively further out, which is worth knowing if you are travelling with small children.
The village itself is built around a square shaded by eucalyptus trees, with tavernas around it. Lake Kournas, the only freshwater lake in Crete, lies a few kilometres inland.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, in the village or along the beach road east of it.
Some of the accommodation sits on unpaved lanes behind the dunes. The driver takes the vehicle as close as the surface allows and confirms the arrangement in advance.
The drive runs west along the whole north coast for 101.0 kilometres and takes about 1 hr 31 min. Georgioupolis sits past Rethymno on the way to Chania, which makes this one of the longer westbound transfers from the capital.
Your driver leaves your Heraklion address and joins the national road above the port.
The first hour is the coastal run: Agia Pelagia, the inland stretch behind Bali and Panormos, then the beach strip into Rethymno at 78.4 kilometres from the city.
West of Rethymno the country opens. The road passes Atsipopoulo and Gerani, and Georgioupolis arrives at the mouth of the Almyros, where the river reaches the sea beside a long sand beach.
The village centre is a square shaded by eucalyptus with the river running through it, and the chapel of Agios Nikolaos stands at the end of a stone causeway out into the sea. Kavros continues the same beach eastward, and Lake Kournas is signposted a few kilometres inland.
The KTEL intercity coach between Heraklion and Chania passes Georgioupolis on the national road.
It sets down at the junction above the village rather than in it, and it runs from Heraklion's bus station rather than your accommodation. That is close to three hours station to station against an hour and a half by car, with a walk at the end.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Georgioupolis. 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 Georgioupolis 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: 101.0 km (62.8 mi), about 1 hr 31 min, and the same fixed fare from €105 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Georgioupolis at the agreed time and takes you straight to Heraklion Town.
The return east covers the same 101.0 kilometres at the same fixed fare.
Rethymno is where this one slows. The bypass carries its heaviest eastbound load in the late afternoon, and a car heading back to Heraklion against a deadline is timed with that stretch in mind.
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.
Ninety-one minutes of driving is the base. Add your carrier's check-in requirement, then a margin for the Rethymno bypass and for entering Heraklion at the far end.
Give us the flight or sailing at booking and the confirmed pickup appears on the 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 Town to Georgioupolis 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 Town to Georgioupolis costs a fixed €105 for a Standard car carrying up to 3 passengers. A Minivan for up to 8 people is €142.
Considerably. Georgioupolis is 48.4 kilometres from Chania Airport against 101.0 from Heraklion Town, so a flight into the west more than halves the journey.
They share one beach and run together, but they are booked separately. Kavros is the eastern end, at 50.2 kilometres from Chania Airport.
A few kilometres inland and uphill from the village, reached by its own road off the national road.
A stone walkway out to the small chapel of Agios Nikolaos, standing in the sea at the end of it.
Shaded by eucalyptus and set a short walk back from the river mouth, with the tavernas around it. It is the centre of the village in a way the beach road is not.
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 €105 for a Standard car to Georgioupolis.
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.
The driver arranges the nearest legal stopping point and confirms it before the day, so nobody is left waiting on a pedestrianised lane. Give the accommodation name as well as the street when you book.
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 Town to Georgioupolis and Georgioupolis to Heraklion Town are the same journey at the same fixed €105, 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 Crete transfers we run, from the airports and ports to the resorts and villages along both coasts.
