Unreal day trips to Elafonisi and Balos! We booked two separate excursions, one to Elafonisi and another to Balos Lagoon, and both were outstanding! Our driver arrived prompt to the minute, was super accommodating, and lent a hand whenever we needed anything throughout the day. The vehicle was spotless, icy cool inside, and the fresh cold water waiting for us after the beach was a brilliant touch☺️. Safe, relaxed driving all along the windy roads. We’ll definitely book again🫶🏻Posted on Google![]()

Smooth, safe, and stress-free! Finding a reliable transfer from Heraklion Airport can be tricky, but this team nailed it. Communication was spot-on, and the chauffeur was exceptionally helpful with our oversized luggage. The ride was comfortable and very calm. We felt completely looked after from start to finish.Posted on Google![]()

Flawless service from start to finish! We booked our transfers with Cretan Routes Transfer for our trip from Heraklion Airport to Rethymno, as well as for our return back to the airport at the end of our holidays. Communication was seamless, and the drivers were always waiting for us on time with a clean, comfortable minivan and cold water. During our stay, we also did a day trip to South Crete, visiting Kourtaliotiko Gorge, Preveli, and Plakias. It was a fantastic experience, featuring safe driving through the routes and absolute professionalism. Thank you so much for everything, we highly recommend them to everyone.Posted on Google![]()

Excellent service and professionalism. We sent an email to Cretan Routes Transfer to organize our vacation transfers in Crete. We received an immediate response, and everything was exactly as agreed. They picked us up from Chania Airport and safely drove us to our hotel in Rethymno—in fact, upon arrival, the driver was already waiting for us with cold water. During our stay, we decided last minute to book a trip to Gramvousa and Balos. They accommodated us right away at a great price. As soon as we returned to Kissamos port, the driver was waiting for us again with cold water and transferred us smoothly back to Rethymno. Finally, they also handled our departure transfer from Rethymno to Chania Airport. Thank you so much for everything, see you on our next vacation and for our next transfers in Crete!Posted on Google![]()

My friends and I came for a holiday, and Cretan Routes Transfer made all our transfers completely seamless. They helped us tremendously from the start with planning and details, answering every question instantly. When we landed at Chania Airport, our driver was waiting with a name sign and offered us cold water as soon as we stepped into the van—just what we needed after the trip. He drove us safely to our hotel in Rethymno. During our stay, we booked a fantastic day trip with them to Lake Kournas, Georgioupoli, and Argyroupoli, wonderful destinations close to Rethymno. The minivan was always right on time, exactly as arranged. Naturally, they also transferred us safely and punctually back to Chania Airport for our departure. Thank you so much for everything, see you on our next trip.Posted on Google![]()

Incredible experience in Crete. We came from Cyprus and arranged everything in advance with Cretan Routes Transfer via WhatsApp. Everything was so quick and easy! We booked a private transfer from Heraklion Airport to Rethymno, as well as two day trips: one to Elafonisi and one to South Rethymno (Kourtaliotiko Gorge, Preveli, Damnoni, Plakias, and Kalypso). Everything was absolutely wonderful! Our transfers were made in a very nice, comfortable Mercedes minivan with great air conditioning, and the driver was fantastic—something very important for the roads in Crete. Also, cold water was offered after every stop during our trips. Finally, they brought us back from Rethymno to Heraklion Airport seamlessly. Thank you so much for everything and for being with us throughout our holidays, making them so special.We highly recommend them for all transfers in Crete. See you again next summer.Posted on Google![]()

Vorbildliche Gastfreundschaft vom ersten Moment an! Bei unserer Ankunft in Kreta aus Deutschland hat Cretan Routes Transfer unsere Fahrten extrem einfach gemacht. Wir hatten alles im Voraus über WhatsApp in nur wenigen Minuten organisiert! Der Fahrer wartete bereits in der Ankunftshalle am Flughafen Heraklion mit einem Namensschild, half uns sofort mit dem schweren Gepäck und hieß uns mit eisgekühltem Wasser willkommen. Die Fahrt zu unserem Hotel in Rethymno war super bequem und sicher. Wir haben direkt auch unseren Rücktransfer zum Flughafen nach einer Woche gebucht. Der Fahrer war wieder absolut pünktlich, sehr höflich und äußerst hilfsbereit – als wir um einen kurzen Zwischenstopp baten, hielt er sofort an der ersten sicheren Stelle an. Vielen Dank für alles! Definitiv das beste Transferunternehmen auf der Insel, wir sehen uns nächstes Jahr garantiert wieder!
