Wedding transport in Crete is one of those details that nobody notices when it works, and everybody remembers when it does not. A church in a mountain village, a reception by the sea, guests in five different hotels: on the day, someone has to get everyone to the right place at the right time, so the couple and the guests can simply enjoy it.
We are a family taxi business from Kolymbari, in the region of Chania, since 1979, and we offer wedding transfers for couples and their guests. This is how we would plan it, from the day you set the date to the last ride home.
As soon as you have the date
The wedding season in Crete runs through the summer, the same months as the busy tourist season, so book your wedding transport in Crete as soon as you know the date and the venues. You can confirm the final numbers closer to the day.
Then make a simple list: who is coming, where each guest is staying and who needs a ride. Guests in the same hotel can share a mini bus, which carries 5 to 8 passengers, while guests in villas or small hotels may need a taxi each. This list is the base of the whole plan.
Choosing the vehicles
- For the couple: a VIP vehicle with leather seats and air conditioning, clean and comfortable for the dress and the suit.
- For guests staying together: mini buses for 5 to 8 people keep the group together.
- For small groups and families: taxis for 1 to 4 passengers.
For wedding transport in Crete, our 5 taxis and 3 mini buses can move up to 20 guests at the same time. For a bigger wedding, tell us your numbers early and we plan the rides with you.
The week of the wedding
Guests arrive over several days, at Chania Airport, Heraklion Airport or by ferry. Arrange their airport transfers together with your wedding transport in Crete, and share the booking details with them, so their trip starts well. For larger groups, see our group transfers.
A few days before, send us the final schedule and choose one contact person for the day: a friend, a family member or your wedding planner. On the day, the couple should not be answering the phone.
On the day
Good wedding transport in Crete starts from the time of the ceremony and works back: when should the guests arrive at the church or the venue, how long is the drive from each hotel, and when should each vehicle leave. Do the same for the move to the reception and for the photos in between.
Village roads in Crete are often narrow and winding, parking near a small church is limited, and summer traffic around the towns can be slow. Plan to have guests at the venue a little early, not just on time. Our drivers know the roads of the region well and plan the route for the time of day.
After the reception
The last part of wedding transport in Crete is the ride home. Wedding receptions in Crete often go on late into the night. Nobody should have to drive after the celebration, and guests should not have to look for a taxi at 2 a.m. in a village. Book the return rides in advance, with an approximate time, or a few departures through the night. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What does wedding transport in Crete cost?
Our prices are per vehicle and per route, not per person, so a full mini bus is good value for a group of guests. A few indicative examples from our price table:
- Platanias to Chania: €18 by taxi, €28 by mini bus
- Kolymbari to Platanias: €20 by taxi, €32 by mini bus
- Kolymbari to Chania: €38 by taxi, €60 by mini bus
- Chania Airport to Platanias: €43 by taxi, €65 by mini bus
For a wedding with several rides, waiting time or rides through the night, send us your plan and we confirm a price for the whole day. All prices are indicative and confirmed with your booking. See all routes on our price table.
