As the
spring has arrived I´ve start to see the backpackers again. I do see them in
winter too, but obviously the weather is much nicer now for the backpackers or cyclist.
Why to take
always just a fixed hotel room? I agree hotel offers certain comfort, but if
you have little bit of an adventurous mind why not try camping instead? I noticed
the flights have come a lot cheaper, now it can make sense to book just flights
and leave the hotel open. If you like to rent rooms, you will always find rooms
with reasonable prices certainly in the south coast of Crete (often 25 e a
night) out of the top season (July and August)...
I have met
families with children crossing countries and even just Crete by bicycles, once
even a family with two kids who were both still in diapers.
Crete is a
wonderful island to discover by rental car/motorbike, bicycle or by foot. You
can sleep in some quiet beaches and there are several camp grounds available
with all services. Excellent option if you have a small budget!
Certainly
the BEST time to discover the island is before July or after August, plenty of
room and easy to camp and the campsites are still all open (some of them are open
all year around at least Ierapetra/Koutsounari, Rethymon, Agia Galini,
Paleochora). You can find campsites basically
in each side of the island, except south-east corner.
If you are
curious to rent a camper, that is also possible! There are few rental
businesses for this purpose in Crete, one who´s campers I see quite some is
called Miketours. If you got curious,
google it out!
Welcome to discover Crete maybe in a new way for you :)

Mukava olisi kyllä Kreikkaan joskus ajella. Emme ole edes lentäen Kreikassa käyneet.
ReplyDeleteMukavaa kesää sinne teille!
Tässähän on sitten seuraava kohde teidän poppoolle:). Eniten täällä näkee asuntoautoja juuri Saksasta, Itävallasta ja Sveitsistä. Kreikkalaiset puhuvat aika hyvin englantia ja vanhempi sukupolvi usein myös saksaa, helppoa! Leirintaälueet eivät ole niin luksusta kuin Espanjassa, mutta ystävällisyys täällä on potenssiin 10 :). Katso linkkejäni tunnisteista/labels ja valitse Ferry, löytyy tietoa laiva ylityksistä hintoineen.
