Driving in Crete
Renting a car most of the times means driving a car you are not familiar with, in unfamiliar places, maybe on narrow country roads with signs in a foreign language. Parking may be difficult and dealing with local driving habits can be challenging. So our members of our team will there to help you at any time 24/7.

During in Crete improved the last twenty years the road system in Crete has improved with a new highway connecting Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos in the east with Chania with an extension under construction as far as Kissamos and Sitia. Secondary roads are slower but most have a good road surface and run north south connecting main towns and villages.

Rules of the road – Driving is on the right hand side. In the town observation of lane etiquette is non-existent and peak hours can be chaotic. Traffic lights change straight from red to green and an instant reaction is necessary to avoid the driver behind beeping impatiently.

It is wise to park in official parking areas to avoid a ticket from the traffic police. In the country white lines mark the major roads. An unbroken white line means no overtaking though this is largely ignored by the locals. The white line on the near side indicates a crawler lane to use when you are being overtaken but beware of parked vehicles. Look out for potholes and road works which are rarely sign posted in advance. Fill up with petrol before you leave the main towns as petrol garages are few and far between in the countryside. Traffic signs are standard continental. Direction signs are usually given in Greek followed by English on main roads but on minor roads may only be in Greek and in the mountains and south non-existent.
