About this transfer
The private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Rethymno covers around 85 km and takes approximately 1 h 10 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
Rethymno old town, Platanes, Adelianos Kampos and Scaleta.
