Driving from Rethymno, Crete's central base
Rethymno is the middle of Crete, and travellers reach it by road rather than runway, so most pick up a car in town or have one delivered to the hotel. The town sits about midway along the north coast, roughly 58 kilometres from Chania Airport and about 80 kilometres from Heraklion Airport, which puts you within an hour of either gateway. From this central base the south coast is closer than from anywhere else on the north. Plakias and the palm-backed Preveli beach lie about 35 kilometres south over the mountains, reached through the scenic Kourtaliotiko Gorge, and the historic Arkadi Monastery sits around 22 kilometres inland in the Amari valley. In town, the Venetian Fortezza crowns a pedestrianised old quarter, so the car is really for leaving: park outside the Venetian walls, then drive out to reach both ends of the island in a day. Choose Rethymno for pick-up to base yourself where every direction is in range.
