Agios Nikolaos
Your transfer to Agios Nikolaos is more than just a journey — it is your first real introduction to the authentic beauty of eastern Crete. As you leave Heraklion behind, the route gradually unfolds along the island’s stunning north coast. Along the way, the landscape shifts between endless olive groves, rugged mountains, and beautiful views of the deep blue sea.
At the same time, this part of Crete feels untouched and genuine. In fact, nature reveals itself in a quiet and effortless way. As the drive continues, the road follows gentle curves and passes through tunnels carved into the hills. Meanwhile, elevated viewpoints open up to panoramic coastal scenery. As a result, the journey becomes both relaxing and visually impressive.
One of the most memorable points along the route is Saint George of Selinari, a historic and well-known stop set between the mountains. Here, many travelers choose to pause for a moment. Not only does it hold spiritual importance, but it also offers a unique connection to the surrounding landscape. If you look toward the cliffs on the left, you will often spot eagles soaring high above. They move effortlessly on the warm air currents rising from the valley. In this way, you experience a simple yet powerful glimpse of Crete’s wild character.
As the journey continues, you pass small coastal stretches and hidden beaches. In addition, the vivid colors of the sea contrast beautifully with the rocky shoreline and green hills. Therefore, every part of the drive offers something different to enjoy. At times, the scenery changes quickly, keeping the journey engaging from start to finish.
Arriving in Agios Nikolaos, the atmosphere immediately changes. At first, you notice its calm and elegant character. The town is built around the famous Lake Voulismeni, which forms a peaceful and almost magical centerpiece. Around the lake, you will find cafés, restaurants, and soft evening lights that create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
This is, without doubt, one of the most romantic destinations in Crete. As a result, everything moves at a slower and more enjoyable pace. Whether you are wandering along the marina, enjoying fresh seafood by the water, or simply taking in the views, Agios Nikolaos offers a refined yet relaxed experience that stays with you.
From here, several of Crete’s most iconic destinations are within easy reach. For example, the exclusive area of Elounda is just a short drive away and is known for its luxury resorts and tranquil waters. Likewise, the historic island of Spinalonga invites you to discover its fascinating past.
A little further along the coast, Voulisma Beach offers one of the most beautiful sandy shores on the island. Here, the crystal-clear turquoise waters create an almost unreal setting. For those who wish to explore further, the south of Crete offers a completely different landscape. In particular, the route to Ierapetra leads to the Libyan Sea. From there, you can take a boat to the exotic Chrissi Island, a true natural paradise with golden sand and shallow, warm waters.
Ultimately, this is not just a transfer — it is the beginning of your Cretan experience. With Route C, every journey is designed to be comfortable, personal, and memorable. In this way, you can fully relax and enjoy every moment of the drive while discovering the real essence of Crete.

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!
