Heraklion International Airport “Nikos Kazantzakis” is the primary airport on the island of Crete, Greece, and the country’s second busiest airport after Athens International Airport. Alternatively, Chania International Airport “Daskalogiannis” is an international airport located near Souda Bay on the Akrotiri peninsula of the Greek island of Crete, serving the city of Chania. It is possible to book online a transfer from either of these airports quickly and easily.

Once you arrive at Crete your private taxi driver will greet you at the assigned Meeting Point, and carrying a sign with your name on it. The driver tracks flight arrivals to Crete airport and delays using a special mobile application, so you will always be greeted at the right terminal at the right time. While travelling from the airport to central Crete or any other destination on the island, the driver will give you tips and suggestions on what to do in the course of your stay.

Everything is arranged so that you can enjoy the relaxed and comfortable trip from Crete airport to your holiday accommodation.

Toss another 5-star rating on the very large pile that Welcome Pickups has. This rating is well-deserved as they run a good operation from start to finish. This was our first time to Greece so all unfamiliar territory. We’ve had our share of taxi ripoffs and I’m not at all afraid to argue with a taxi driver, pay what I believe (based on research prior to arriving) is the fair price and walk away. I didn’t feel like doing that on this trip especially since the Welcome Pickups had such raving reviews (which I’ll be honest I was skeptical about). But I’m a believer now. We used them 3 times on our trip for Greece, detailed below. We started in Athens getting a pickup from the airport to our hotel (Ava). Dimitris was waiting for us outside the baggage claims area with a sign with my name on it. We had a really nice ride to the hotel getting tips and suggestions for what to do and see. We’re usually not very talkative people but it was a very easy conversation and I jotted down a handful of places to go that we wouldn’t otherwise have done so. So, trip #1 started off on a good foot. Our next ride was from the hotel back to the airport. For this ride Manos picked us up. He was there exactly at the time specified, actually a couple minutes early since we made our way down to the lobby about 5 minutes before the pickup time. Manos was awesome. Our next destination was Crete, which he was familiar with since he had lived there for a while. We got some really good insights into Crete and could double check some of the plans we had made. His comments were right on based on our experience in Crete (which, incidentally, was a really very pleasant stay – were weren’t sure how much we’d like Crete but we found there was more to do there than the 4 days we had there). In Crete we rented a car from the airport so we didn’t need a pick up (if you’re renting a car in Crete at Heraklion, use Auto Rentals Crete — we had an outstanding experience with them). Trip number 2, another home run. After Crete, we took a ferry to Santorini and got a pickup there. Once again, waiting outside the ferry (which was over an hour late), Pavlidis was waiting with the sign. We hopped into his van and were off to our hotel (Afroessa). Again, a nice discussion with tips and pointers. Along the way various sights were pointed out and we got a good orientation with the island as we were going. So 3 out of 3 good experiences. Their website is modern and reliable. Email responses were quick and helpful. Looking at the list of cities that they support I noticed that Hong Kong is on the list so I’m planning on using them there which will be interesting since it’s outside of their home area of Greece. But at this point I have zero reason to believe that it would be anything other than the outstanding service that they provided on our trip. One thing to note, at least in Athens, is that the drivers are actually just regular taxi drivers. I guess I hadn’t realized that when booking so was a little bit surprised when we were getting into a normal taxi both from and to the airport. The cost was the same as a normal taxi ride which makes me wonder how Welcome Pickups is making their money, but that’s not really my concern. All I know is that I got the same service, with personalized pickup, waters, a tote bag, and friendly English-speaking drivers (although we found that seriously everybody in Greece is fluent English speaking). And yes, I tipped each of them, which I had read is fairly customary. If you’re arriving into an unfamiliar location and want the assurance of a smooth trip, do yourself a favor and use Welcome Pickups.

Easily booked online in 5 mins, the cheapest and so much cheaper than a taxi. The driver was amazing, Nikos even made sure he picked us up. He offered to be a guide and help us in anyway, he was a really nice welcoming guy. I would go back to see him alone.
