Rent a car in Crete

You can rent a car in Crete from the airport in Heraklion. Heraklion is the capital of the island and a lively city where you can shop and visit the weekly market. Chania is the second largest city in Crete. The beautiful city center with the Venetian harbor is attractive and a nice place to find a terrace. Be sure to visit the Archaeological Museum, which has a beautiful collection of ancient Roman glass.

By renting a car on Crete, you can discover all the places on the island. Crete is highly recommended for its beautiful beaches and great accommodations. But also culture-seekers are at the right place. The most famous location is the old capital of the island, Knossos. Here you will find many ancient remnants and many excavations.
