While a formal tour with a bus and a tour guide is far more convenient, there is a certain thrill, whimsy and spontaneity to discovering something on your own or on your own accord. One of the great places in the world for such an adventure is Crete, Greece.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->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.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be able to visit all of these and more if you have a car. And you don&#8217;t have to worry about transportation in Greece to go on your road trip. There are affordable car rental companies in Crete <a title=\"Car hire in Heraklion\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cretarent.gr\/heraklion-car-rental.html\">Heraklion<\/a>, such as Cretarent, which has been satisfying its customers for 40 years now. It&#8217;s the car rental company I always come back to when I&#8217;m in Greece, because of the friendly staff and wide service coverage. Should you come to Crete, I suggest you look them up.<\/p>\n<p>So what are you waiting for? Explore the beauty and extravagance that is Crete by going on a road trip!
