Automobiles: Driving
on Crete is very varied. The coast roads tend to be fast, although the
road surface is not always perfect. Once into the mountains the roads
may be much rougher, often turning uexpectadly into loose rocky surfaces. Check
your map and car insurance cover. Most of the big car hire comapnines
operate in Crete and have offices at the airports. Local companies are
also very comeptitively priced and offer good value. www.crete-car-rental.com/ www.carrentals.co.uk/
