Car Hire in Crete Lets You Explore the Island
Crete is one of Greece's largest and most popular islands for vacationers, and car hire in Crete is one of the best ways to make the most of your time on the island. Car hire gives you the flexibility to visit the many natural and historical sites at your own pace. For example, Iraklio (Heraklion) is the main port of entry, and its tow main squares, Plateia Venizelou and Plateia Eleftherias are lovely.
Venizelou is the heart of the city, and site of the famous Morosini Fountain. There is also an outstanding archaeological museum, historical museum, and the remains of the city walls and fortress of Rocca al Mare to explore. The Palace of Knossos, located southeast of Iraklio, is the most magnificent, intricate and evocative of Crete's Minoan sites, featuring notable re-created frescoes.
