The drive to Chania feels like a relaxed north-coast route with constant little highlights. Soon after departure, the Aegean comes into view and Heraklion starts to fade behind you. You then reach the coastline near Agia Pelagia, where the sea feels close and the scenery opens wide. A bit later, you pass through Fodele, connected to El Greco’s birthplace, with orange trees and a softer, greener landscape that feels authentically Cretan.
From there, the road continues west with one coastal scene after another. You pass the bays of Bali with their vivid blue water, followed by beautiful viewpoints around Panormo where the horizon looks endless. The route then carries you through the wider Rethymno area, and near Paralia Kourna the scenery turns even greener, with forested stretches that make the approach to Chania feel refreshing. Soon after, you arrive in Chania and reach Samaria Hotel ready to enjoy the city.
Finally, relax and enjoy the last part of the ride. This private, door-to-door transfer with Route C brings you to Samaria Hotel comfortably and sets the tone for a smooth start to your stay in Chania.

What our guests say
We had the absolute pleasure of spending five hours with George, our driver and guide from RouteC, during our recent visit to Crete—and it was truly unforgettable. George was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but he also tailored the experience perfectly to suit our age group and interests.
His driving was smooth and safe, allowing us to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. What really made the day special was George’s warm personality—he greeted us with a smile that never faded and made us feel welcome from the very start. His passion for Crete shone through in every story he shared, and his friendly demeanor made the entire journey feel like we were exploring with a longtime friend.
If you're looking for a guide who’s professional, personable, and truly invested in making your experience memorable, George is your guy. Highly recommended!
His van was spotless and spacious, perfect for our family of four. The ride felt more like a private tour than a transfer: we got local insights, great restaurant tips, and cold drinks to help us cool down after the flight.
It’s rare to find someone so reliable, friendly, and service-minded. Georg turned what could have been a stressful moment into a really pleasant experience. Thank you for that!
His car — a luxurious Mercedes Vito — was in perfect condition, spotless and very comfortable. During the ride, he offered us cold drinks and shared lots of interesting facts about Crete.
As a family with two kids, we felt completely safe and well taken care of. We highly recommend Georg to anyone visiting Crete and would book him again anytime!
