Ferries:Ferries sail to and from Athens (Pireas) daily - the port for ferries from Chania is at Souda, a few kilometres away. Pireas to Rethymno, is also served by ANEK Lines overnight ferries.

Automobiles: Driving on Crete is very varied. The coast roads tend to be fast, although the road surface is not always perfect. Once into the mountains the roads may be much rougher, often turning uexpectadly into loose rocky surfaces. Check your map and car insurance cover. Most of the big car hire comapnines operate in Crete and have offices at the airports. Local companies are also very comeptitively priced and offer good value.
