LASITHI TOUR
Dictaion andro Cave is famous in Greek mythology as
the place where Amalthea, nurtured the infant Zeus with
her goats milk. The nurse of Zeus, was charged by Rhea
to raise the infant Zeus in secret here, to protect him
from his father Cronus.
Krasi village belongs to the municipality of Chersonissos.
It is a mountainous village at an altitude of 600
meters. Point of reference of the village is the perennial
huge plane tree whose trunk has got a perimeter of 24
meters and is branched into several arms. The plane tree
is 2400 years old and it is said that each meter of its
perimeter corresponds to 100 years. It is estimated that
more than 10 people are required to hug this giant trunk.
This plane tree is among the 5 largest European trees. As
stated by the Dutch forester, Jeroen Pater, there are 200
trees in Europe with a diameter more than 10 meters.

Why Choose Safe Rides Transfer
We used Safe Rides Transfers for a group retreat in Crete and overall had a good experience. The drivers were punctual, professional, and our guests felt well looked after, which we really appreciated. On the coordination side, there’s a bit of room for improvement. Some of the email communication felt repetitive (requesting information that had already been provided), and I found myself needing to follow up for clarification a few times. More clarity and attention to detail in communication would make the process smoother. That said, the actual transfer service itself was reliable and well executed.
Communication was great, drivers were helpful and kind. Cars were spacious. Prices were great as well
Such a great experience! Easy booking, and they are great at answering questions! Our driver was at the pick-up lokation 10 minuts early, and had water for us all day. The driver was kind and explained the cities we drove through, but also let us talk without him so we felt we had a lot of privacy. We drove from Chania to Knossos Palace and to Heraklion in the morning, and at 20.00 we drove back to Chania. Same driver, same comfortable Mercedes, and same good service. We can really recommend this company to everyone!
We are very satisfied with the services of this taxi company and highly recommend it. The transport was punctual and carried out exactly as agreed. The driver was very polite and professional, and the car was of excellent quality — clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. From start to finish, the client is taken care of in every aspect. A nice touch was also the provision of hand tissues and drinking water. Highly recommended!
Excellent service. Driver was waiting for us in the airport arrivals with a clear sign. Friendly greeting. Showed us to minivan. Took our luggage and helped us to seats. Gave us water bottles and drove us in good time to the door of our hotel. Thank you! Would recommend.
Good company!! Great contact and nice driver! We booked this uber/taxi multiple times and it was great!!
