Getting around Crete
Getting around Crete can be quite an adventure; however, it’s important to know your transportation options. From public transport to car rentals, let's explore what the island has to offer.
Public Transport in Crete
While public transport is available, it does have its limitations. Buses connect many cities and tourist spots, but schedules may be erratic, and routes can be confusing, often leading to longer travel times. Fares typically range from €1.50 to €4.00 depending on distance. Not the best option if you're short on time.
Car Rentals in Crete
Renting a car may seem like a great choice—who doesn't want to feel the wind in their hair as they coast along Crete's scenic roads? However, keep in mind that rental prices range from €30 to €60 a day, and you may have to navigate busy and narrow roads. Plus, finding a free parking spot can be a real headache.
Taxi in Crete
Cabs are a go-to option for many travelers. Taxi fares start around €15 for a trip within city limits and can spike based on time of day and distance. However, traditional taxi services may not always be readily available and can leave you waiting. This is where GetTransfer shines. We provide superior taxi services in Crete by allowing you to book in advance, choose your vehicle and driver, and avoid surprise price hikes. With GetTransfer, you're not just getting a ride; you're choosing a tailored travel experience.
