Having a car allowed us to go to a lot more sites. The freedom it gave us allowed us to have some magical experiences on Crete - from food to sites to amazing people with really big hearts. Thank you.

Crete is marvelous. I did not go very far, and unfortunately spent too much time lost in downtown Heraklion and Chania. Knossos is a must. I also enjoyed the Holy Trinity Monastery near Chania.

If you plan to visit Crete for more than just a couple of day I highly recommend renting a car. The roads were all in good shape with clearly marked signage and driving is the best way to get around the island. There are so many beaches and areas with different terrain, it was a real treat to drive and check them out.

Taking a small compact car is just enough to visit: Balos, Vai Beach, Elafonisi and anything else on the island. We made 1200km in 5 days without any issue.

there is no way you could go to Crete without a car, only if you go with an agency and they plan everything and they take you everywhere. It was the best thing to rent a car, and the price was afordable.

When driving on side roads of Crete the driver should be very attentive because of sudden big holes in asphalt which could be big enough to damage the car (happend to me).
There are streets in towns and villages in Crete so narrow (with parked cars on the side) that it takes lots of careful manoeuring to not scratch the car.

Loved Crete. Visited many places including mountain tavernas, beaches, ruins, olive mills, “train” trips, and did regular stuff like supermarket shopping. All were great experiences and gave insight into Crete life. Having a great car from Green Motion made it possible. Loved it all.
