About transfers from Matala
Matala sits on the south coast of Crete in the Heraklion region, set in a small bay framed by sandstone cliffs. It is best known for the prehistoric caves carved into those cliffs, which became a legendary gathering place in the 1960s and 1970s. Today it pairs a sandy beach and clear water with a relaxed, bohemian village atmosphere.
The easiest way to reach Matala is with a private transfer booked in advance. Your driver waits for you on arrival, helps load your luggage, and takes you straight to your accommodation with no changes or waiting. The fare is fixed and all-inclusive, agreed before you travel, so there are no surprises at the end of the ride.
We operate transfers to and from Matala across the whole of Crete, including Heraklion and Chania airports, the ports, and resorts along both coasts. Exact prices, journey times, and distances for each route are listed in the price table further down this page.
