• Flying into Heraklion or Chania-Rethymno is just a scenic drive away.
• Card friendly, English friendly, and old town is walkable.
• Respect the culture; it will reward you.

Rethymno Is Easy to Reach-Just Know Where to Land

Rethymno has no airport. But getting there is simple. Fly into Heraklion (HER) or Chania (CHQ). From either airport, it’s an easy drive. You can take a taxi or a bus, but a car rental is your best bet. With AUTOWAY, you get flexibility, comfort, and a head start on adventure.

Card Friendly, But Keep Some Cash Handy

Crete uses the euro. Cards work in most places-shops, hotels, and restaurants. But small spots may ask for cash. Think taverns, kiosks, or taxis. Booking with AUTOWAY is simple and secure. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying. No hidden fees.

English Works, But Greek Wins Hearts

Most locals speak English. But basic Greek goes a long way. Say “Kalimera” for good morning. Or “Efharistó” to say thank you. Locals will appreciate the effort. It adds charm to your trip.

Want to See More of Crete? Drive Yourself.

The Old Town is walkable. Buses can get you between cities. But remote beaches and villages? You’ll need a car. Car hire from AUTOWAY is the smart move. They’re top-rated, with more than 3000 reviews to prove it. Travel on your terms.

Respect the Culture-It’ll Reward You

Cretans are friendly and proud. Be polite. Say hello. Dress modestly at churches and monasteries. Respect siesta time-usually from 2 to 5 PM. Tip: When you can, just a few euros is enough.
