Enjoy Your Holiday: Car Rental in Crete

Posted by Cretarent on August 11th, 2016

The island of Crete is the second largest in the Mediterranean. Covering an area of three thousand square miles, it has over 1500 km of motorable roads. Inhabited since ancient times, Crete is an amalgam of European and Central Asian cultures unlike any that you may see somewhere else. There are a lot of attractions scattered all over the island, most of them miles away from any urban area. A few ancient towns and settlements have turned into modern cities and offer their own delights. There is a lot to see and do in Crete, and the best way to see it all is with a rental car.

A rental car at your disposal allows you to take in all that Crete has to offer without the burden of pre-fixed schedules and time constraints. The major benefits are enlisted here.

•    Visit Far-Flung Spots: Since so much of Crete’s wonders lie well outside the boundaries of public transport systems, it makes sense to use a rental car to get there. You can also create your own route, setting up an impromptu tour package for yourself.

•    Time Management: You no longer have to worry about missed buses or rushing through on your visit to a place you would otherwise like to spend a few hours at. With a rental car, you are the master of your schedule, as it should be on your vacation.

•    Extended Stay Benefits: If you are planning an extended vacation in Crete, a rental car is a must. Spending more than a few days means that you can take your time to visit all notable sites and locations, giving each the time they deserve. Should you feel like holding back and enjoying yourself in your room instead, you can do that. No more worrying if you can find another tour operator to take you to a location you decide to skip that day.

•    Beat the Crowds: The perennial complaint of all major tourist attractions is the long queues to get it. Most tour operators arrive within a small time window, swelling the number of people trying to get in. This often means standing long hours in the sun. Occasionally, you may end up standing in a queue longer than inside the premises. The solution is simple, arrive early. The only reliable way to do that is with your own rental car.

•    Road-trip Fun:  Half the fun of visiting a foreign country is sightseeing in the countryside. Crete is even more special with breathtaking views of the blue sea from mountainous roads. You will also come upon quaint little towns and charming villages on your travels. You will be tempted to step out and take a walk or perhaps take a few postcard perfect pictures. Such rewarding experiences add value to a holiday, giving you the time to reflect and take in the local scenery.

If you still need more convincing, remember that rental cars in Crete are available at extremely cheap rates, and you will probably end up saving more money that you would on a bus tour.
