crete car hire and travel guide with articles about heraklion, chania, crete http://www.rental-center-crete.com en Crete keeps some of its secrets well and Sissi is just one of those. To find it, you need to turn off the highway between Malia and Agios Nikolaos about 40 km east of Heraklion. A winding road leads you through olive groves to the twinkling sea and harbour of Sissi. Literally at the end of the road, you discover the delight that is this small resort nestled between the Aegean Sea and a deep natural bay that gives the fishing village its character. Moored in the bay are colourful fishing boats and the calm deep water is the playground for families of ducks whose home is in the palm trees on the far side of the bay.Dotted around the bay on the cliff face are tavernas, bars and cafeterias and the high position offers you perfect views during the day. The inlet is deep, dark and quiet in contrast to the bright open spaces around the corner which faces the open sea. This is where you will find the fish tavernas which are the favourite of the Greeks who travel from far and wide to dine there, especially on Sundays. If you follow the paths to the east, you will stumble across small clean beaches and to the west, around the inlet and over the bridge will take you into a newer, more touristy area with some of the larger hotels. There is also a cycling path and nature walks for those interested in exploring the area at their ease. You could walk to some of the nearby villages or hire a bicycle to take you to Milatos and the famous cave as well as Car hire Crete Sissi is definitely a good idea if you plan to explore further afield as there is only a local bus about every four hours and it does not run late into the evening. Turn left onto the highway and you travel east with the Lassithi Plateau to your right into charming larger resort of Agios Nikolaos. From there, you can choose to travel south to Ierapetra or further to the end of the island where the palm beach of Vai welcomes you.Turn right onto the highway and just a few kilometers down the road, you will see the turn off to the Malia Archeological Site which is definitely worth a visit. Follow the beach road which is a picturesque way to arrive in Malia with the banana greenhouses to the left and wide sandy beaches to the right. Malia and Hersonissos are more touristy than Sissi and you might like to sample their nightlife if you are that way inclined. Travel further to the west and you will reach Heraklion, Rethymnon and Hania. You may like to wait and rent a car in sissi within the resort or you may prefer to arrange with crete car hire sissi to have one waiting for you at the airport. 30 Jul 2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Crete-car-hire-Sissi http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Crete-car-hire-Sissi If you prefer, the local bus is reliable and goes through Kokkini about every half an hour in the summer. The only problem is that it is a popular form of transport and so the buses fill up very quickly. car hire kokkini hani or car hire crete kokkini hani is a great way to get around the island and as there is easy access to the national highway, Kokkini Hani makes a very convenient base. Kokkini Hani is a small resort about 10 minutes drive from the Heraklion airport. A scenic drive along the old road will take you along a winding coastal road with spectacular views. A wide sandy beach marks the entrance to Vathianos Kombos and then into Kokkini Hani proper, though the two places are often thought of as Kokkini Hani.Kokkini is not a thriving busy tourist resort so if you are looking for non-stop partying then you would be best to check out Hersonissos and Malia. Kokkini is more suitable for young families or couples who want to chill out and find their own little corner to relax in. Having said that, however, the central location of the resort makes it an ideal base from which to explore the island. Like many other coastal villages, Kokkini was originally a fishing village and a place to swim for the occupants of the mountain villages nearby. Its history goes back to Minoan times and a small archeological site at the entrance to the resort testifies to that fact. 11 May 2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Car-hire-Crete-and-Kokkini-Hani http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Car-hire-Crete-and-Kokkini-Hani The resort of Stalis is situated between the busier and more commercial resorts Hersonissos and Malia on the north coast of Crete. Only 30 km east of the Heraklion airport, it is convenient for short transfer times and easy access to the whole of the eastern side of the island. Stalis is a quieter resort popular with families and couples looking for a great beach holiday without all the noise. A sandy beach stretches for over 2 km and the majority of the resort's restaurants, bars and accommodation line the coast road that lies parallel to it. Stalis has never been a village proper like Hersonissos and Malia but was originally a farming and agricultural area for the residents of Mohos, a picturesque village just to the south and up the mountain. Some small tavernas at the coastline bought the catch of the day straight off the few fishing boats and sold the fresh fish to the Mohos locals. Because of this, there isn't any village square as such and permanent year round residents are few. However, the resort comes to life every summer and the fact that many tourists come back year after year is testament to its popularity. From its rather humble beginnings, the resort has developed into a charming mix of the traditional and sophisticated. 18 Apr 2010 09:34:21 GMT http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=A-Holiday-in-Stalis-with-Crete-car-hire http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=A-Holiday-in-Stalis-with-Crete-car-hire Once you are in Heraklion, there are many buses to take you where you want to go but getting back to Agia Pelagia in the late afternoon or evening is a bit of a problem. A taxi from the capital will cost about 30 euros. An easier way is to find a car rental in agia pelagia which will give you the freedom to come and go as you please. There are car hire agia pelagia agencies to assist if you decide that this is the way you want to go. Agia Pelagia is picture postcard material and if your goal is to experience Crete away from the Club 18-30's type of tourist resort, then this is the ideal destination. 12 Apr 2010 07:00:00 GMT http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Car-hire-Agia-Pelagia-and-Panorama http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Car-hire-Agia-Pelagia-and-Panorama There are many car hire hersonissos agencies as well as a very good public transport system. Buses are modern, frequent and usually on time. The only problem you will face in using the buses is that they fill up very quickly, in which case they won't stop to pick you up. Hiring a car is the best way to see the island if you are keen on seeing the real Crete and like your independence. 10 Apr 2010 06:00:00 GMT http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=What-about-a-Holiday-in-Hersonissos http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=What-about-a-Holiday-in-Hersonissos The answer to that exciting question is actually - everybody. This means that you should make Crete one of the top options of your list of possible family vacation destinations. There are some places around the world where you just cannot visit with your family for various reasons but travel Crete would be an experience which the entire family can enjoy together, which means that people of all ages will find their trip to Crete an exciting one because of all the things to see and do; and most importantly because Crete is a very tourist friendly place and there are no hassles that tourists have to encounter during their stay here.For the younger children there are a lot of exciting and interesting museums to visit and a lot of the cultural history that a growing child will be intrigued to know about. Not only that, but the amazing traditional Crete cuisine is something that any child will totally enjoy. Not only that but travel Crete gives a great opportunity to growing children to get in touch with nature in all its glory and all the wilderness. For the youth there are even more exciting things to do, for example take daily refreshing swims in the Aegean Sea or go water skiing and surfing and sun bathing on the sandy beaches. There are also lots of opportunities of hiking through trails that also give one a great opportunity of discovering more of the wilderness of Crete. There are no limits as far as exploring Crete goes. Even for older people who would not perhaps enjoy surfing that much, the history and the culture would be enough to keep them occupied. More than that the very healing Mediterranean air would be good enough to make them feel as fresh as they probably could. For those people who are golf lovers there are also many options for taking up some golf packages as part of your vacation so that you can enjoy some great golf games in the lush greens of Crete. Not only all this, but for those who like to party, do not worry about getting bored at night on the island, cities such as Hersonisos offer great night life possibilities to keep the party animal inside of you alive. However, if you are with family and you would like to keep the family which may have smaller children away from all the nightlife crowd then you can do so by settling in some quiet towns which are also all over Crete, such as Gouves and why not to car hire gouves. 01 Apr 2010 06:00:00 GMT http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Who-should-vacation-at-Crete-or-Gouves? http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Who-should-vacation-at-Crete-or-Gouves? Before you reach Crete, you must know that for tourists who are visiting those beautiful islands from abroad and do not know very well their way around the place; the best thing to do is to hire a car from a crete car hire. The island is actually about two hundred and fifty kilometers only but there are so many different things to see around the place that the easiest thing would be for you to have a car handy all the time so that you can visit any place any time you want instead of having to wait for a cab that you ask for or looking for a car on hire on the road every time you leave your hotel. Of course if you do not live very far away from the islands and within Europe itself then you could as an option drive down with your own car itself, but that is surely not the most practical thing to do since you can contact any crete car hire and get yourself a car for your entire trip. However, again if you are planning on staying in Crete for a considerable period of time then you might get your own car along for the stay. If you were planning on getting your car along instead of just contacting a crete car hire you will have to go through a lot of hassles to even get your car into the islands. First of all, the time that will take you to get into the island will be more since you will be driving the whole distance and besides; there is also the expenditure to consider that you would be wasting on petrol and the ferrying of your car into the island. It is always a cheaper decision to go for a rent a car Crete instead of taking all that trouble. And if you haven't brought your car along in the first place and you were planning not to rent a car Crete either then that would be a bad idea too. Not only does hiring your own car for your trip to Crete make your traveling a lot more practical but it also makes your trip a lot more flexible. This means that you can visit any of those beautiful island attractions at any time of the day and going to whichever place no matter how far as you want. If you rely on a cab which is not as easily available as you might think, then you will not be able to do much of sightseeing and if you plan on hooking yourself with some travel agency then you would not be able to explore the island by yourself and visit all those places that the travel agencies don't take their tourists on. The best way to vacation on Crete therefore is to get yourself a rented car. 02 Feb 2010 17:12:35 GMT http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Why-it-is-best-to-hire-a-car-in-Crete http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Why-it-is-best-to-hire-a-car-in-Crete With the tourism in Crete having reached a new recent high all the other businesses that bloom and grow because of the boom in tourism has also started sprucing up on the island. For example car rental crete are the businesses that have been booming and now there are hundreds of local companies that have sprung up that provide tourists with cars on hire for driving around on the island. Not only are there these small local car hire Crete companies but there are also the bigger international ones that have their branches all over Europe and other places including Crete. So you are free to choose from a variety of such car rentals around the island. Finding a crete car hire for your stay is not very difficult. You can do your research before you arrive on the island which means that you can browse through various rental companies online from which you can rent a car Crete. The internet which provides you with various such lists for rental agencies both local and international is the best source as you will gain access to all possible information about getting in touch with such agencies and how to rent your car from them.

Finding a car for rent for your vacation in Crete is absolutely not a problem, the above mentioned process makes the find very simple. The real confusion arises when you have to choose between hiring a car from a local smaller car rental crete company that is based on the island itself or should you just go for those bigger international companies. What we would recommend for you to hire from are the local companies themselves because these are as trustworthy as the international companies too. The main reason you should go for a car from one of these smaller local companies is because of the rates that they charge which are very cheap as compared to the rates that the bigger companies would charge you. But on the other hand, these smaller rentals are not lacking in any way either. The kind of car that they give you for rent would either be brand new or even if older very well maintained so that you will have no problem on the road with it. They also have all their cars fully insured and provide their customers with twenty four hour road assistance so that all your worries regarding the safety of the car is taken care of.

The usual trend is that visitors who land on this particular airport intend on staying on in Crete itself and do not intend on traveling all the way to Heraklion again; however if you have booked a hotel there then you could do go to the main city. This particular airport is not a very big one but it is the main airport of Crete and thus has a proper baggage system along with proper parking facilities available. If you are new to the city of Crete however, the first thing that you should do however is find a car hire heraklion airport. So for this, you should go prepared from before you land on Crete.

However, if you have not already booked a car then you should ask some of the airport authorities to give you information about car hire heraklion airport companies that you can contact over a pay phone and then book yourself one. But this is definitely the first thing to be done when you reach Crete, that is rent a car Crete for the ease of your travels around the island. This is a wiser option to choose over any travel agency group buses or cabs that would not give you the kind of independence that your own hired car for your stay would. While you wait for your rented car to arrive if it hasn't already arrived, there are several other facilities that are available on the airport at Crete that you can avail of to make you feel less at a loss in the new place. There is a convenient ATM as well as payphones and other basic shops that you can visit and which provide you with all the usual initial requirements for a tourist to start any visit off.

There are actually quite a few international rental companies as well who have put up shop at Crete because of the immense popularity that Greece as a whole as well as Crete especially has been garnering up in terms of tourism. However, these international rental companies would of course charge you much more than the smaller local businesses which keep their rates very low for their own benefits of attracting tourists. These are actually not that hard to spot; if you know people who have already visited Crete then you could conjure up details and information from them regarding the local crete car rental scene and it is always best to go by somebody's reference as it is easiest to trust that way. However you will find that the internet is filled with information and contact details for these local small rental companies as well. So you can simply check their websites if they have one or get on touch with them over the phone or email them so that you will be prepared to deal with all your transportation requirements when you land in Crete. However, you need not worry about your car hire crete at all as far as finding them in Crete is concerned.

You can be rest assured that the cars that they will provide you with is well maintained while many of these companies actually send great new cars as these are relatively new companies at the moment. So you do not have to worry about constant car trouble just because you have rented the car for cheap. Not only this, but these businesses in Crete maintain an all day and night car service so that if you have trouble on the road with your car at any time you can always get in touch with them and they will send help over. So just because you are going to pay a greatly cheaper price for your crete car rental by hiring from one of these local small companies rather than the more expensive international ones you are actually not losing out on anything. It is in fact better to hire a rougher and tougher car from a cheap rental and pay less for a car that would be able to travel through the rough terrain of the island rather than hiring a more expensive fancy car from an international rental company for a bigger price. 02 Feb 2010 17:12:35 GMT http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Find-yourself-a-cheap-Crete-car-rental http://www.rental-center-crete.com/crete/article.php?title=Find-yourself-a-cheap-Crete-car-rental If you haven't heard of it already, one of the cheapest places in Europe for tourists to visit is Crete in Greece.
