Mind the coastal wind
On exposed roads to Plaka or Sitia, slow down when gusts pick up.
Parking near the lake

Fuel up before long drives
Stations thin out past Elounda and toward Sitia—top up in town.
Cash for small villages
Most spots take cards, but small kafeneia in Kritsa or Mochlos may prefer cash.
No toll roads
Crete has no tolls; plan time for scenic, slower coastal routes.

Agios Nikolaos marina, Elounda, Plaka, hotels, HER airport transfers, or custom spots in Mirabello Bay — just add it to your booking.
