Getting to your resort
Transfers to your hotel and taxi prices

If you are not booking a package holiday and want to save as much as you can then you need to be considering the range of private transfer companies that are cropping up. For your information we can provide the average cost of taxi transfers if you really want to do your own thing and know where you are going but we would highly recommend using a private transfer company.

As we regularly fly from island to island we use a company called resorthoppa.com who are the leading provider for low-cost shuttle and private transfers worldwide. Booking with resorthoppa.com is very simple and you tell them where you are staying and an email confirmation is emailed to you within minutes and the prices are quite reasonable.

When you arrive in Heraklion or Chania airport, you collect your luggage, find the resorthoppa.com representative who are normally straight outside the arrivals door, they all speak perfect English and direct you to your coach which has an English speaking driver and once everyone is ready your off to your resort.

When you arrive in Crete you are normally provided with a guide to the sights of Crete and the cost of some excursions with resorthoppa.com which can be very useful if you haven't visited the island before.
