Hire a car to Enjoy your Travel across the Island

If you use the main road network, you can reach Crete Chania Airport easily using a hired car. It will take you an average of 20 minutes to travel from the airport to the city center if you hire a car. Contrastingly, it will take you longer if you other public means. Busses delay as passengers alight at different stations. You Might miss out on an important appointment! You do not deserve such disappointments. Look out for a car hire company at the airport and rent a car for as long as you want. The rates are affordable and negotiable.

Other than hiring a car at Crete Chania Airport, you can take a taxi to the city. The taxi stand operates all the destinations across the island. Though they operate even at odd hours, they are costly as compared to cars for hire. Besides, most taxi drivers are not friendly and move fast. To make it worse, most brush off the idea of being a tour guide. You can ask to be assigned a professional driver when booking a car. The driver can also serve as a tour guide or a translator. They have proper training for the task.
