We, Vasso (on the left) Gianna (center) and Harria (on the right), the daughters of the Papadakis family after a few emails, requesting information about different issues on how to organize a trip to Crete, think that it would be useful for all our future and past guests to read below: TAXI FROM HERAKLION AIRPORT TO ANGELOS VILLAGE The cost is around 35 euros. There are plenty of taxis exactly outside the arrival gate of the airport. Usually there is no need to book in advance. If you arrive late at night (after midnight) the price can be a bit higher. If you need to book a taxi in advance, just send me an email and I will take care of it. You will need to know your flight number and the arriving time.
