Less crowded than its western counterparts, Sitia offers a tranquil yet captivating Greek experience. The locals are friendly and welcoming, with a laid-back lifestyle that quickly rubs off on visitors, making it a home away from home.
Driving in Greece is on the right-hand side of the road, opposite to the UK's left-hand traffic. Speed limit is up to 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h outside urban areas, and up to 130 km/h on motorways. Seat-belts are required, and using phones while driving is prohibited unless you have a hands-free kit.
A compact or economy-class vehicle is perfect for navigating Sitia's narrow and winding roads. For larger groups or families, a minivan or SUV might be a better fit.
Street parking is plentiful and free, but be aware of restrictions in some areas. For long-term parking, there are several secure parking lots around town.

The fair refuelling regulation
Most car hire companies work with the fair refuelling regulation. This means that you pick up your hired car with a full tank and also return it with a full tank. The advantage is that you can start your trip directly after the pickup.
The right insurance
We always recommend a fully comprehensive insurance without deductible. This way you are well covered in case of damage and do not have to expect additional costs. You should also make sure that your legal liability insurance has a high coverage amount.
Consider young driver fee
Some car hire companies charge drivers under the age of 26 a so-called "young driver fee". Make sure that in our offers the young driver fee is already included in the price if you have entered your correct age in our booking mask,
Pick up or return outside opening hours
If you wish to pick up or return your hired car outside opening hours, you should clarify this with the car hire agency. Most car hire companies provide a safe where you can pick up or leave the keys. However, automatic rental should be announced in advance and approved by the car hire company.
Cancellation free of charge
You have the option to cancel the hired car free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the rental. So if you can not travel unexpectedly due to illness or other circumstances, you are always on the safe side with MietwagenCheck.
