The journey to Chania turns the transfer into a beautiful introduction to Crete’s north coast. Shortly after leaving Heraklion Airport, the Aegean Sea comes into view, while the city of Heraklion gradually disappears behind you. The first memorable views appear around Agia Pelagia, where the coastline feels open, bright, and close to the road. Soon after, you pass through Fodele, the village connected to El Greco’s birthplace, known for its orange trees and softer green scenery.
As the route continues west, the landscape keeps changing. The bays of Bali bring vivid blue water and charming coastal scenery, while the viewpoints near Panormo offer wide sea views and a beautiful sense of space. The drive then moves through the wider Rethymno area before becoming greener near Paralia Kourna, where forested stretches and richer natural scenery make the approach to Chania especially pleasant.
Finally, relax and enjoy the last part of the journey. This private, door-to-door transfer with Route C brings you comfortably to Porto Veneziano Hotel, setting the tone for a smooth and welcoming 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!
