To fully explore everything this enchanting island has to offer, you surely need a vehicle. So, make sure you get a reliable car rental in Crete, in order to start this exciting adventure off on the right foot.

However, driving in Crete comes with its own set of considerations. This smart guide offers valuable tips to help you navigate the roads of Crete safely and make the most of your visit.

Fasten your seatbelt and let’s start!

  1. Plan your route wisely

Before embarking on your journey, plan your routes carefully.

Crete’s diverse terrain features winding mountain roads, coastal highways and narrow village streets. Use navigation apps or GPS devices to help you find your way, but always have a paper map as a backup, as signal strength can be unreliable in some remote areas.

Research your destinations, taking note of opening hours, parking availability and potential road closures. By planning your routes ahead of time, you can make the most of your stay in Crete and avoid unnecessary hassles.

  1. Adapt to local driving habits

Driving in Crete may be different from what you’re used to, so it’s essential to adapt to local driving habits.

Greek drivers are known for their assertiveness and you may encounter aggressive overtaking and tailgating.

Stay calm, keep to the speed limits, and avoid aggressive driving behaviours.

In villages and residential areas, be prepared for pedestrians and be cautious when driving near schools or playgrounds. In some cases, local drivers may not always yield the right of way, so anticipate unexpected manoeuvres and be patient.

  1. Be prepared for narrow roads

Crete’s landscape is characterised by narrow, winding roads, especially in rural areas and villages. These roads may be challenging, so be prepared for some tight squeezes and hairpin turns.

Drive cautiously and be ready to yield the right of way when necessary. Always keep an eye out for oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and livestock, which can occasionally share the road.

  1. Fuel up and carry essentials

Gas stations are relatively easy to find in larger towns and along major highways, but they can be scarce in rural areas.

It’s a good idea to keep your tank reasonably full, especially if you plan to explore remote regions. Carry a spare can of fuel if you intend to venture far off the beaten path.

  1. Pay attention to road signs

Road signs in Crete are in Greek, but many also include international symbols.

Familiarise yourself with these symbols and their meanings to help you navigate the island’s roads effectively.

Pay particular attention to signs indicating sharp turns, steep inclines, and intersections. Additionally, road signs may provide useful information about nearby attractions, services and points of interest.

By following these tips and being mindful of local customs and conditions, you can have a safe and enjoyable driving experience while exploring the stunning landscapes and cultural treasures of Crete, Greece.

With a reliable rental vehicle, an adventurous spirit and respect for the island’s natural beauty, you’re all set for a memorable journey through this captivating destination!

At RoadCrete you will find the ideal rental vehicle for you to explore the beautiful Crete with safety and comfort.

Choose the vehicle that meets your needs and check-in online to save time and avoid unnecessary hassle!
