Book a transfer from Heraklion to Chania — across the magnificent island of Crete from its bustling capital to the enchanting Venetian harbor city on the western coast, widely considered the most beautiful town on the island.
The 140 km journey takes 2 to 2.5 hours heading west along the E75 national road, following the dramatic northern coast of Crete past the resort of Rethymno, with the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) rising to the south and the turquoise Cretan Sea to the north.
Chania is widely considered Crete's most beautiful city — a captivating blend of Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek heritage wrapped around one of the most photogenic harbors in the Mediterranean. The Venetian Harbor with its iconic Egyptian lighthouse, the domed Mosque of the Janissaries, and the colorful waterfront restaurants create an unforgettable scene. The old town is a maze of narrow lanes lined with Venetian mansions, Ottoman fountains, artisan workshops, and atmospheric tavernas serving Cretan cuisine at its finest. The Samaria Gorge — Europe's longest gorge — offers an unforgettable 16 km hike from the White Mountains to the Libyan Sea. The pink sand beach of Elafonisi, the turquoise lagoon of Balos, and the pristine Falassarna beach are among Greece's finest coastal treasures, all accessible from Chania.
