Good to know

Considering the unique characteristics of Crete Island, it’s important to recognize that the island lacks highways or streets, which can impact travel time. Coaches must adhere to regulation speeds, further contributing to the duration of journeys. Additionally, high traffic can lead to delays at pickup points and affect the overall schedule. When planning your trip to Crete, considering these factors, it’s advisable to allocate sufficient time for transportation.
