Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Yes, and it is one of the biggest advantages of traveling this part of Crete by private transfer. The western Crete coastline is rich with worthwhile stops. Agia Marina and Platanias beaches are just a few kilometers further west, and the Akrotiri peninsula β home to historic monasteries and dramatic sea views β is roughly 22 km (14 miles) northeast of Daratsos. Your Daytrip driver can suggest stops along the route and wait while you explore, so you shape the day around your interests rather than a fixed itinerary.
A half day at the beach paired with a few hours exploring Chania gives you a well-rounded experience without feeling rushed. Most visitors find that 5 to 7 hours covers the highlights comfortably β enough time to relax on the water, have a proper Cretan lunch at a seaside taverna, and still make it into the old town before evening.
It is one of the more family-friendly spots on the Cretan coast. The Agioi Apostoloi coves are known for calm, shallow water that is well-suited to younger swimmers. The beaches are organized with sun loungers, facilities, and nearby cafes, so there is no need to haul gear or hunt for shade. The short distance from Chania also means you have a full city's worth of options β markets, museums, harbor walks β if the group wants variety during the day.
The area keeps you busy without feeling rushed. Agioi Apostoloi Beach is the centerpiece β a series of four calm, Blue Flag-certified coves ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling. From there, the Venetian harbor of Chania's old town is a short drive away, along with the Chania Central Market and the Maritime Museum of Crete. You can easily combine beach time with a wander through one of Greece's most beautiful old towns in a single day.
Daratsos is a relaxed coastal village on the western tip of Crete, sitting just 5 km (3 miles) southwest of Chania. What makes it stand out is the combination of Blue Flag beaches, authentic Cretan tavernas, and immediate access to the historic old town of Chania β all without the crowds of larger resort areas. It is the kind of place that rewards travelers who want a genuine Cretan experience rather than a packaged one.
A private transfer is the most practical option. Daratsos is only about 5 km (3 miles) from central Chania, but local buses can be infrequent and taxis require coordination on both ends of the trip. A Daytrip private transfer puts a local driver at your door at the time you choose, handles all your luggage, and gets you there directly β no timetables, no transfers, no guesswork.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
