Location information for Crete

Crete is probably the most popular island resort in Greece. The island is not only home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, but it is steeped in history. Car hire in Crete is a convenient way to explore this beautiful island and reach its hidden coves and beaches.

Crete attractions

Visitors can start their tour of Crete in the ancient city of Heraklion. Here, the famous Morosini Fountain, the Archaeological Museum and the Historical Museum of Crete ensure an interesting visit. One of the most popular seaside resorts is Agios Nikolaos, which is home to some of the best beaches on the island.

Crete excursions

A must-explore is the Kato Zakros, a famous archaeological site, and the drive along the Zakros Gorge is simply breathtaking. A day out on the Lasithi Plateau is a great getaway from the beach. Here, visitors will find apple orchards and almond trees along with hundreds of windmills ? an amazing sight.

Best time to visit

Crete enjoys a temperate climate. Peak tourist season is during the summer, with temperatures in July and August ranging between 25°C to 30°C. The mountains in the centre of the island are snow-capped throughout the year and provide a great contrast to the coastal areas. March through April is considered to be the rainy season, and the ocean can be too cold for swimming during these months.

Car rental in Crete

Although driving can be somewhat chaotic on Crete, the limited number of roads makes navigation easy and self-driving is better than relying on public transportation. Car rental in Crete is available at the airport or in the major cities of the island through both local and international rental agencies. Visitors should compare car hire options prior to making a booking.
