Lots of sun and great beaches that we managed to visit. The people were mostly friendly. Pleasant mountain roads

We actully drove to the North West of Crete close to Chania, but flights were better into Heraklion. Just a great island to discover by car.

First time we had used a meet and greet service and would recommend it to anyone hiring a car. It all worked very smoothly and saves wasting time queuing at a hire desk.
