Chania Airport Taxis and Transfers

The best Chania airport taxi service

The island of Crete is one of the most popular tourist destinations, which is great for soaking up some sun, but not so great when it comes to travelling from the airport. Taking public transport usually involves extremely long queues and long waiting times. Instead, why not begin your vacation with a relaxing transfer from Chania airport by taking a taxi. 

The moment your plane touches down at Chania airport (CHQ), your driver will be waiting for you just outside of the arrivals hall exit doors, holding a sign with your name on it. After a warm greeting, they will give you a hand with your luggage and lead you to your pre-selected Chania airport taxi. To make sure our drivers are always on time, we give them live updates on your flight’s schedule and any delays that may occur. 

During your Chania airport transfer, your English speaking driver will answer any questions you may have about Crete and will share with you a few local tips, so you can make the most out of your stay on the island. With all your transfer needs taken care of by Welcome Pickups, all that’s left for you to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic ride. 

While on the island of Crete, you can book your journeys with Welcome Pickups or grab a local Crete taxi by hailing one from the street, walking to a taxi rank or calling a radio taxi company.
