Chania airport transfers with Malakonis Bros take the stress out of your arrival. When you land at Chania Airport (CHQ) or Heraklion Airport (HER), or arrive by ferry, your driver is already waiting and takes you straight to your hotel, villa or village, anywhere in Crete. When you leave, we collect you from your door and get you to your flight or ferry on time.
We are a family business from Kolymbari, driving in Crete since 1979, and our Chania airport transfers run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Early morning landing or late night ferry, the answer is the same: we will be there.
How Chania airport transfers work
Send us a booking request with your flight or ferry number, the date and time, the number of passengers and your destination. We get back to you to confirm the details and the price.
On the day, your driver arrives early at the meeting point you give us and waits for you holding a sign with your name, so you find each other quickly, even in a busy arrivals hall. Our drivers know the peak hours and the streets of every town, so on the way back they take the best route and get you there safely and on time.

Our Chania airport transfers are the most popular, but we cover all the airports and ports of Crete, including:
- Chania Airport (CHQ), on the Akrotiri peninsula
