Routes and parking
Small cars are practical, but luggage and road rules still matter
An economy car is suitable for normal public paved roads to Chania, Rethymno, Kissamos, Falassarna and Elafonisi when passenger and luggage space is sufficient. Small size does not permit off-road or prohibited-track driving.
For more comfort or a larger boot, compare the SUV airport guide and family-car guide.
