Oh yes – driving in Crete is really the best way to go! Best way to see the real deal, the cute villages, the surprise “find” of a beach and get to those magnificent view spots – so even the car rental website has been refined and joins the family look >http://www.crete-car-rental.com

Crete’s internal road system has always lacked good roads from the north to the south coast….there are already many such roads but they are mostly narrow and circuitous.

A new North to south road improvement is under way – which when completed (it is hoped this might be numbered in months rather than years as in previous projects…many of which remain uncompleted years after the first road-laying steps) will offer a much improved route from Heraklion to thre south coast .

It is advisable to avoid the area and route via Houdetsi for a few months (until early 2005 perhaps) – if practical (detours are in place – delays and increased journey times can be expected).

The end result will be a positive step forward, helping to make visits and stays on the south coast of Crete more practical and accessible.

Always helpful isn’t it?
The easier it is to get to and from an island, the better.

Now the Ionian islands in Greece are gradually getting the benefit of a new sea plane service – offering both scheduled service and sightseeing options.

Eventually services to Brindisi in Italy (allowing as it happens, a good link to easyJet\’s flight to London\’s Luton airport) will be added, together with some services to central Greece (lakes are the landing point!) and to the north at Thessaloniki.
