Getting around Crete

Crete is a large island, with many towns and villages. Rethymno itself is a beautiful smaller town and has plenty to explore, including its own beach and an Old Town part. However, if you'd like to get to some of the most beautiful and famous beaches and tourist sites on other parts of the island, we would strongly recommend hiring a car. There is also a local bus network but you should expect this to be running on island time! Please note that taxi companies are in very limited supply and taxi cars will need to be pre-booked/pre-organised with the car companies for any trips you may be planning without your own hire car.

Currency

The currency in Greece is the Euro. It's best to withdraw cash from bank ATMs when you arrive, but please inquire as to any foreign transaction fees that might apply to your bank card for withdrawals. Credit cards are welcomed in most places (Visa, and some Amex) but be sure to look into your cards' specific foreign transaction fee policies prior to traveling.

Cell Phones

Please contact your carrier for International data and messaging plans. Wifi is widely available. If you need additional service we recommend the Airalo app which allows you to get eSIM for access to the local network based on your service needs. It is available on both Apple and Android devices.

Electronics

USA-EU plug converters are available in the USA for purchase. Anything that heats up like a curling iron will require a proper converter. Most hotels will not have these on site so you will need to bring one. The link below is an example of one we use.
