The distance from Heraklion Airport to Adelianos Kampos is 77 km, and the journey takes about one hour. Your transport options are:
- By the intercity KTEL Heraklion buses
- By taxi
- By rental car
- By private transfer
KTEL Bus Transfer
If you choose the KTEL bus, you first need to take the local bus from the airport to the KTEL station. The cost of the local bus ticket is between €1.60 and €2.50 (if purchased online), or €2.50 if bought onboard. The bus stop is located right outside the airport, and the service is frequent but not 24 hours. From the KTEL station, you can take the intercity bus that will take you to Adelianos Kampos in about 75 minutes. The ticket costs €9-€13. You can book your ticket either online or directly at the station.
Taxi Transfer
For a taxi, you can find available vehicles at the taxi rank outside the arrivals terminal. The cost of the trip is approximately €80-€100, and it takes about 1 hour. Taxis in Heraklion are gray with distinctive signs. Most vehicles can accommodate 3-4 people, depending on the type. Be aware of potential waiting lines, which can take 20 to 30 minutes depending on the time of year and time of day. Some taxi drivers may not speak English, which could create communication challenges.
Rental Car Transfer
If you prefer to rent a car, it’s recommended to book online a few days in advance for better pricing and pick up your vehicle at the airport. Rental prices start at around €70 per day, depending on the car you choose. You will need your ID or passport, driver’s license, and a credit card.
Private Transfer
For maximum comfort, you can book a private transfer at least 12 hours before your arrival. The driver will meet you at the arrivals area, help with your luggage, and take you to the car. The transfer is made with executive cars, and the driver will speak English to facilitate communication. The cost ranges from 71 to 80 euros, depending on the vehicle, and the journey takes 60 minutes with no waiting time. We highly recommend private transfer for comfort and speed.
