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 local bus stop is located right outside the airport, with frequent service, though not 24 hours. From the KTEL station, you can take an intercity bus to Bali, which takes about 1 hour. The ticket for the intercity bus costs approximately €4-€7, with buses running every 30-60 minutes. 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 Bali is approximately €60-€70, and the ride takes around 45 minutes. Taxis in Heraklion are gray with rooftop signs and can carry 3-4 passengers depending on the vehicle type. Be aware of potential waiting times at the airport taxi rank, which can take 20-30 minutes depending on the time of day and season. Not all taxi drivers 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 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
For maximum comfort, you can book a private transfer at least 12 hours before your arrival. The driver will meet you in 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 50 to 62 €, depending on the vehicle type. The journey takes about 49 minutes with no waiting time.
We highly recommend private transfer for comfort and speed.
