A private transfer from Rethymno Town to Agioi Apostoloi covers 73.8 km (45.9 mi) in about 1 hr 11 min and costs a fixed fare from €98 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Rethymno Town, or the departure run back from Agioi Apostoloi 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.
| Vehicle | Typical models | Passengers | Bags | Fare | |

Minivan | Peugeot Traveller, Mercedes Vito | up to 8 | 8 | €132 |

The same fare applies in both directions: Agioi Apostoloi back to Rethymno Town 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 Rethymno Town to Agioi Apostoloi: 73.8 km (45.9 mi), about 1 hr 11 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 Rethymno at the time on your voucher. City pickups are door-to-door, so there is no meeting point to find.
Rethymno sits midway along the north coast, roughly an hour from each of Crete's two airports, and that position is why it is a pickup point at all. Rethymno gives guests staying in the middle of the island a start point that does not require driving to Heraklion or Chania first.
The old town, between the Fortezza and the harbour, is largely pedestrianised. Where a hotel sits inside it the driver arranges the nearest legal stopping point and confirms it before the day, so nobody is left waiting on a street a car cannot enter.
Journeys in both directions use the national road along the coast, which keeps timings predictable even in August.
At your accommodation's entrance, or the closest legal stopping point when the address sits inside the old town.
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 reachable.
Tell us as early as you can if your plans change, so the driver can be rescheduled.
Agioi Apostoloi is a beach district on the western edge of Chania, built around a small headland that shelters a series of coves. Agioi Apostoloi has the calmest water close to the city, because the headland breaks the swell that reaches the open beaches further west.
The coves are sand and shingle, backed by pine trees in places, and a park runs along the shore behind them.
The district sits within the built-up area of Chania rather than outside it, which puts the old town and the Venetian harbour a short drive away along the coast.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, at the coves or in the streets behind them.
The roads down to the individual coves are short and narrow, and several end at the shore. Your driver uses the nearest point a car can turn and confirms it before the day.
The drive runs west along the north coast for 73.8 kilometres and takes about 1 hr 11 min, to the sheltered coves on the far side of Chania.
This is a cross-prefecture run to what is, in effect, a city beach. Agioi Apostoloi sits inside Chania's built-up western edge, so the journey crosses two thirds of the way from Rethymno to the far side of another city, and the last few kilometres are suburban rather than open road.
Your driver comes to the door of your Rethymno address at the time on the voucher, and where the old town lanes take no vehicle the car waits at the nearest legal point, confirmed before the day.
The national road carries almost the whole route. Atsipopoulo and Gerani pass first, then Georgioupolis and Kavros at the mouth of the Almyros at roughly the midpoint, then the Apokoronas slope past the turnings for Vamos and Kalyves.
The road climbs over Aptera with Souda Bay below on the left, and Chania is skirted on the bypass rather than entered. The coves are on the far western edge of the city, past the turnings for the harbour quarter.
What waits is a set of small bays closed off by a headland, with pines and a shoreline park behind them. The shelter is the point: this is the calmest water anywhere near Chania, which is why it fills with families rather than with the crowd that heads further west to Platanias.
Ammos Hotel, Domes Noruz Chania, Hotel Cretan Dream, Yakinthos Hotel and Alisahni stand along this shore, and Chrissi Akti adjoins the coves immediately to the east.
Chania old town is a short drive back east along the coast, which for a guest based here is an evening rather than a day out.
There is no direct public route from Rethymno to this stretch of coast.
The intercity coach reaches Chania's central station in about an hour, and a city bus then runs back out west to the beaches. Two vehicles, a change and a walk, against a car that leaves your door and stops at the hotel.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Agioi Apostoloi. 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 Agioi Apostoloi 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: 73.8 km (45.9 mi), about 1 hr 11 min, and the same fixed fare from €98 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Agioi Apostoloi at the agreed time and takes you straight to Rethymno Town.
Agioi Apostoloi back to Rethymno covers the same 73.8 kilometres at the same fixed price.
The western suburbs and the Chania bypass fill the first fifteen minutes and are the least predictable part of the return. Everything from Aptera east runs at national-road speed until the Rethymno approach.
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.
Allow about 1 hr 11 min of driving, the check-in or boarding time you have been given, and margins for the Chania bypass and the Rethymno approach.
Send the flight number or sailing at booking, and the pickup is calculated from it rather than estimated on the day.
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 Rethymno Town to Agioi Apostoloi 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 Rethymno Town to Agioi Apostoloi costs a fixed €98 for an SUV carrying up to 4 passengers. A Minivan for up to 8 people is €132.
No. It is part of Chania's built-up area, a set of sheltered coves with a shoreline park behind them, so the surroundings are residential rather than a resort strip.
A headland closes the coves off from the open sea. It is the most sheltered swimming within reach of Chania and the reason families choose it.
A short drive east along the coast. From here the Venetian harbour is an evening out rather than an excursion.
Considerably. Agioi Apostoloi is 11.3 kilometres from the Souda quay against 73.8 from Rethymno, so anyone arriving by sea should book from there instead.
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 €98 for a Standard car to Agioi Apostoloi.
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. Rethymno Town to Agioi Apostoloi and Agioi Apostoloi to Rethymno Town are the same journey at the same fixed €98, 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 taxi we run, from the airports and ports to the resorts and villages along both coasts.
