TAXI AVAILABILITY

Chania

Chania airport, Chania bus station exit west side, Plateia 1866 east side, Plateia Makris Kritis west side.

Vrisses (on the main road to Rethymnon)

Taxi drivers of this village are usually unavailable as they tend to work at Georgioupoli, a busy coastal resort further east on the main road. Taxi drivers from Vamos often fill in.

Rethymnon

Taxis regularly drive by the entrance to the bus station and the main road above it; there is not enough space for a taxi rank.

Heraklion

There is a taxi rank and shelter to the right (west) of the Arrivals exit at the airport. Taxis regularly pass by the two bus stations, Knossos archaeological site and the city Archaeological Museum.

When to go

The island of Crete may be a Mediterranean beach holiday destination, but it does not have a particularly ‘easy’ climate. Extremes of temperature – including enervating heatwaves – high humidity, aggravating hot or cold winds, heavy rain and penetrating dampness, and days (or months) of snow in the mountains are all characteristic of the yearly round.
