Getting Around
to travel around Crete, although the frequency of service changes seasonally and is often
curtailed (or nonexistent) at weekends. The website has the latest timetable.
Taxis are widely available except in remote villages. Large towns have taxi stands that
post a list of prices, otherwise you pay what's on the meter. If a taxi has no meter, settle
on a price before driving off.
CENTRAL CRETE
Central Crete comprises the Iraklio prefecture, named after the island's burgeoning capit-
al, and the Rethymno prefecture, named after its lovely Venetian port town. Along with
its dynamic urban life and Venetian remnants, the region is home to the island's top-rated
tourist attraction, the Palace of Knossos, as well as other major and minor Minoan sites.
