Alternatively, driving along the coastal roads, east or west, will take you through interesting scenery, charming villages, and several beach resorts.

Parking And Traffic Information In Heraklion

Road conditions in Crete are highly variable. Heraklion’s city roads are in better condition than outer rural roads, which is worth keeping in mind when driving on country roads farther away from the city. Don’t let the frequent sound of car horns put you off, as it's common for local Heraklion’s drivers to beep horns to inform others of their presence. Parking in Heraklion is available throughout the city. Free and cheap roadside parking is available outside the city centre. Many drivers prefer to park farther out and walk to the centre, rather than use the paid-parking facilities inside Heraklion’s city centre.
