Crete is an island in Greece with rich culture housed in various museums and archaeological monuments and sites, and white sand beaches that are perfect for going on a vacation destination anytime of the year. Among these beaches is the Elafonissi Beach, with its popular pink coral sand where just about anybody can camp. In addition, a road trip can take you to Spinalonga, where the Venetian fortress built by the Italians in 1579, to protect themselves from the Turks, still stands. You can also go to the Palace of Knossos, where the legendary Minotaur and King Minos of Greek mythology were alleged to be found and ruled, respectively.

You’ll be able to visit all of these and more if you have a car. And you don’t have to worry about transportation in Greece to go on your road trip.
