About this transfer
The private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Malia covers around 35 km and takes approximately 35 min depending on traffic and season. Your driver monitors your flight, waits in arrivals with a name sign and takes you directly to your accommodation — no shared shuttles, no stops and no queueing for taxis. Greece's largest island has everything: Minoan palaces, Venetian harbours, dramatic gorges, pink-sand lagoons and its own famous cuisine.
Pickup
Your driver tracks your flight and waits in the arrivals hall outside the arrivals exit holding a name sign. Waiting time of 60 minutes after landing is included, so passport control or a delayed bag is never a problem.
Destination
Malia resort, Stalis and the Minoan palace area.
