Crete Transfers do reliable transfers all over Crete
Either if your arrival point is the airport of Chania or Heraklion we will pick you up and in the comfort of our limousines or mini buses and we will take you to your final destination with comfort. For us at Transfers Crete comfort and quality of transfers are two very important elements. Knowing that all our guests after a flight and probably not having slept well the previous night as many flights arrive early in the morning might be very tired or in an uncomfortable situation. Quality transfers are very important for all our guests but especially those with little kids. We all know how tiring is to travel with kids.
Apart from the airport or harbor transfers our company can also organize wonderful private excursions. We are locals, multilingual and know our island very well. As our prices are very competitive in the market we will be happy to organize your next excursion. This way you will avoid the crowds, the delays with the big busses and the transfer time will be almost the half as it will not be any pickups in between. Transfers Crete suggest the following excursion:

It boasts a spectacular collection of stalactites and stalagmites and was the scene of a great tragedy in 1823. Join our tour and find out more of the history of this remarkable place.
White Mountains

Askifou Plateau
Surrounded by the White Mountains, with breathtaking views and resembling a giant cup the plateau was originally a lake thousands of years ago. In 1821 it was also the site of a major battle and evidence of this can be seen from the small nearby fortress.
Imbros Gorge
A gorge of great natural beauty that is very much a favourite of walkers and hikers as it is less strenuous than Samaria being only 7km in length.
Frangokastello
Lying on the South Coast and in the shadows of the White Mountains the village features beautiful sandy beaches leading to the Libyan Sea. The waters are shallow and ideal for children and for the history buffs there are also the remains of a castle, first built in 1371.
Miriokefala Village
The village is home to The Monastery of Virgin Mary Antifonitria and dates from the 11th century. It is one of the most important religious shrines of Crete.
Agiroupoli Springs
An oasis of greenery fed by 10 natural water springs that constantly gush water and feed much of Rethymno’s water supply. Former watermills have now been converted to restaurants and tavernaswere you can sit and enjoy a drink whilst enjoying the unique scenery or perhaps you may take a few steps off the beaten trail and visit the tiny Agios Ioannis chapel set in a cave in the hillside.
Kournas Lake
This is the only freshwater lake on the island and is a protected area due to the varied species of wildlife. Lying in a valley and with a beautiful landscape it is perfect for relaxing or for the more energetic perhaps a swim or a pedalo ride on the lake. The decision is yours but you will never forget this magnificent place.
Kourtaliotis Gorge
One of the most spectacular natural attractions of the island. The gorge is 3km in length and is surrounded by huge cliffs, some as high as 600 metres. At the bottom of the gorge is the church of St. Nicholas and the Springs of Kourtaliotis and then a Palm grove as we exit to Preveli Beach.
Preveli Beach
A unique, sandy beach set with a backdrop of palm trees and also the mouth of River Kourtaliotis.
An exotic experience that should not be missed.
Preveli Monastery
The monastery which consists of two main building complexes and was founded during the Venetian period (14th/15thcentury). The Monastery has played a central role in life on the island since that period and has a fascinating history which would be impossible to summarise in this brochure. A visit is highly recommended.
Plakias
Situated on the Libyan Sea, Plakias was originally a small fishing village of 10 dwellings or less. It still derives income from the sea but it’s golden sandy beaches, fresh fish in the restaurants and Cretan sun also attract visitors seeking their perfect holidays.
