Crete is the largest Greek island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea, having an area of 8,336 km2 with more than 300 beaches!

 

Due to its size, it is better to plan your trip before coming in Crete in order to decide which places to visit. To get a good taste of all over Crete, a two weeks minimum stay is required. If you do not have that much time, you can choose between West or East Crete.

Our passion is to travel and discover new corners in the place that we love the most, Crete!

Campervan routes

 

Even with the big campervans you can drive almost everywhere. Crete is very well singed to help you navigate around. If you would like to visit some of the cities in Crete, it would be better to park the campervan outside the center in order to avoid small and narrow streets. Upon your campervan’s pick up, our team will give you tips and plan with you the route around the island.

 

4x4 routes

 

Renting a 4x4 is giving you the freedom of visiting remote places on the south part of the island. The south part of Heraklion is one the most secluded places that you can explore. Hike wild gorges, climb to the summit of Asterousia mountain range, discover the wild flora and fauna and try to spot one of the last eagles in Europe, visit old Monasteries and spend a night with monks.
