Heraklion - Plakias by bus

(1/2) > >>

Hi

I'll be arriving in Heraklion at about 4:30 AM on Sat 4th September (3 days  !!!!) and am meeting my boyfriend from a later flight arriving at 7:30 AM. By this time the transfer service our two friends are using will have gone so I was just wondering what our travel options are? We'll both have been travelling for a long time and want to get to Plakias with minimal fuss having travelled overnight, but I worry that the cost of a taxi may be prohibitive. Any thoughts??

Thanks
Kirsty

Hi Kirsty,

We will be half an hour behind you   You may be lucky and find someone on your boyfriends flight who is going in the same direction and could share a taxi.
If our flight is delayed a couple of hours you are welcome to share ours, this overnight flying is a real pain I must admit.. but its worth it  

Maybe when so many people are going out at the same time and are travelling independently (i.e no package transfer) we could try and bring people together here to try and save money by sharing taxis.

Cheers,
Paul

A good idea. I imagine a saloon car sized taxi would be too small for 4 adults plus luggage but at the beginning of September, there may well be enough people on a flight to share a minibus. I don't know but maybe a minibus between 4 people works out cheaper than 2 taxis.

sharing a taxi is obviously the best bet .Since other people may also be going to Plakias , it might be worth standing by the airport exit  as the later plane gets in with a placard saying anyone want to share a taxi to Plakias
 Failing that , the best public transport option would be bus to Heraklion , then bus to Rethymnon , then bus to Plakias .There was recently a posting on this site about public transport from airport to Plakias but I cannot remember where it was- you could try search options

Kirsty,

Try the contributions from Noopsy 500 on 15 and 17 July and by Greecemad on 16 July.

Link to transfer by buses to Plakias.

It wouldn't suit me- too unadventurous. Have settled for the tour operator option, at least while there are good bargains to be had.

Hope you maange to make it.

Mike
