Transfer from Heraklion to Elounda – What’s the Best Way to Get There?

If you're wondering how to get from Heraklion to Elounda, you're not alone — it's a common question for travelers heading to this beautiful seaside village. Whether you’re landing at Heraklion Airport or staying in the city, here are your main options:

Heraklion to Elounda by Taxi

You can find official taxis waiting just outside the arrivals area at Heraklion Airport. If you're already in the city, there are taxi stands at central locations like Eleftherias Square or the Heraklion Port. However, in peak season, finding a free taxi can be tricky — especially if you're traveling with luggage or in a group.

Heraklion to Elounda by Bus + Taxi - Combo

There’s a public bus (KTEL) from Heraklion to Agios Nikolaos. From there, you’ll need a local taxi to reach Elounda (about 15 minutes away). This option is more budget-friendly but can take over 2.5 hours and may not be ideal with children or heavy bags.
