Bilbao Airport to Lekeitio: a direct transfer to your hotel, the port or the old town
Lekeitio is a compact coastal town, but the final approach depends on where you are staying. Giving the exact hotel, old-town address or port area helps the transfer finish at the right point.

PRICE AND JOURNEY
Private transfer from Bilbao Airport to Lekeitio from €108
A private transfer from Bilbao Airport to Lekeitio starts at €108 per vehicle. The current reference for the journey is around 50–55 km and approximately 55–65 minutes, depending on traffic and the final address. Pickup is arranged at BIO and the vehicle continues directly to your hotel, the port area, the town centre or the address included in the booking.
ARRIVING VIA GERNIKA
P2 and P3 are useful reference points when approaching central Lekeitio
Turismo Euskadi recommends drivers arriving from Gernika use the free P2 and P3 car parks at the entrance to Lekeitio. From these car parks, the centre is approximately a 15-minute walk away.
Peak season
Parking conditions in the town can be more restricted
Visit Biscay warns that parking restrictions may apply during periods of higher visitor numbers. For this reason, it is useful to provide the exact hotel or address when booking rather than simply entering “centre” as the destination.
OLD TOWN AND PORT
Knowing the exact drop-off point matters in Lekeitio’s historic centre
Lekeitio’s historic centre connects the square in front of Santa María with the port through narrow streets and shared-surface areas. Visit Biscay also describes a short, accessible urban route linking the square, seafront and port. For a private transfer, the exact destination therefore matters more than simply selecting Lekeitio as a town.
The port, seafront and old town are close together
That proximity does not mean every point offers the same conditions for unloading luggage. Providing the hotel or street address when booking makes the intended end point of the journey clear.

Accommodation within the urban fabric
For an address on a historic street, it is useful to specify the exact property, particularly when travelling with luggage or when urban parking is more restricted.
LEA-ARTIBAI AND URDAIBAI
Making Lekeitio one stop on a wider route? Plan the full journey from BIO
If your itinerary combines Lekeitio with Gernika, Bermeo or other points along the coast, it is no longer simply an airport-to-destination transfer. The stops, timings and final destination need to be defined as part of the overall journey.
IF YOU PREFER THE BUS
Public transport from BIO involves changing in Bilbao before continuing to Lekeitio
The current public transport itinerary from Bilbao Airport requires a connection at Bilbao Intermodal before continuing to Lekeitio, with a total journey time of approximately 2 hours 45 minutes. The A3512 line reaches Larrotegi; from that stop, the historic centre is approximately a 10–15 minute walk away.
Your accommodation can also determine which option is practical
If the property is close to the bus stop or you are travelling light, the bus can be an alternative. For an address elsewhere in Lekeitio, the final journey from the stop still needs to be covered.
