The distance from Heraklion Airport to Ligaria is 23 km, and the journey takes approximately 24 minutes. Your transport options are:
- By the intercity KTEL Heraklion buses

- By rental car
- By private transfer
KTEL Bus Transfer
If you choose to travel by KTEL bus, you first need to take the local bus from the airport to the KTEL station. The ticket for the local bus costs approximately €1.50 to €3 (if purchased online) and €2-€3 if bought onboard. The bus stop is located just outside the airport, with frequent service but not 24 hours. From the KTEL station, you can take an intercity bus to Ligaria, which takes about 40-45 minutes. The ticket for the intercity bus costs €2-€3. Tickets can be purchased online or at the station.
Taxi Transfer
Taxis are available at the taxi rank outside the arrivals terminal. The fare for the journey to Ligaria is approximately €35-€40, and the ride takes around 25 minutes. Taxis in Heraklion are gray with rooftop signs and can carry 3-4 passengers depending on the type of vehicle. Be aware of potential waiting times at the airport taxi rank, which can take 20-30 minutes depending on the time of year and time of day. Not all taxi drivers speak English, which may create communication challenges.
Rental Car Transfer
If you prefer to rent a car, it is recommended to book online a few days before your arrival to secure a better price. Your rental car will be ready for pick-up at the airport upon arrival. Prices for car rentals start at €70 per day, depending on the vehicle type. You will need your ID or passport, driver’s license, and a credit card to complete the rental.
Private Transfer
If you choose private transfer, you should book online at least 12 hours before your arrival. The driver will meet you at the arrivals area, assist with your luggage, and take you to the car. This service offers executive cars with English-speaking drivers to meet your needs. The cost of the transfer ranges from 26.4 to 31 €, depending on the vehicle type. The journey takes around 24 minutes with no waiting time.
We highly recommend private transfer for comfort and convenience.
