Based in the beautiful Agia Pelagia of Heraklion, our agency was born from a simple but powerful desire: to share our love for Crete and offer our guests life experiences, far from the usual and standardized tourist packages.

As a young and dynamic company in the tourism sector, we bring with us fresh ideas, absolute flexibility and a pro-eating attitude. The head of the agency is Vangelis Trantalis, who together with his team, designs each route based on authentic Cretan hospitality, safety and personal service.

Our Philosophy

For us, Crete is not just a destination; it is its hidden corners, the scents of its herbs, the stories of its people and the tastes of its traditional food and wine. From full-day explorations in Rethymno and the southern coast of the Libyan Sea, to short cultural getaways and family themed adventures, each of our excursions is designed to bring you into contact with the real, unadulterated Crete.

Why Choose Trantalis Travel?

Here’s what makes us different:

• True Local Expertise We live here in Agia Pelagia. We know the secret spots, the best beaches, the quiet villages, and the authentic tavernas that only locals visit.
• Small Groups & Personal Attention We keep our groups small so you get personal service and flexibility. No crowded buses — just you, your family or friends, and your private driver/guide.
• Maximum Comfort & Safety Modern, air-conditioned vehicles with spacious seats. Professional, friendly drivers. Fully licensed and insured. Your comfort and safety always come first.
• Flexible & Tailor-Made Experiences Choose the duration (4, 6, or 10+ hours) and customize stops according to your wishes, pace, and budget. We adapt — you relax.
• Authentic Crete We combine breathtaking nature, rich history, local culture, and delicious Cretan food & wine. Every tour is designed to create real memories, not just photos.
• Excellent Value Competitive prices with transparent, all-inclusive options and no hidden costs.
