KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sitia

  • Sitia is a beautiful city located on the northeastern coast of Crete, Greece. Sitia car hire offers numerous advantages. Renting a car allows you to easily explore the city and its surroundings. With car hire in Sitia, you can conveniently visit popular attractions, such as the Venetian Fortress, the Archaeological Museum of Sitia, and the palm forest of Vai. Additionally, having a car enables you to venture further and discover hidden gems, like the picturesque villages of Zakros and Palekastro. Public transportation options may be limited, so car hire in Sitia provides greater flexibility and convenience.
  • If you're arriving in Sitia by air, the Sitia Airport (JSH) is the main airport serving the region. The offices for car hire in Sitia are conveniently located at the airport, allowing you to pick up your vehicle upon arrival. You will find car hire desks just as you leave the Baggage Claim area in the Arrivals Hall. Although there is no airport shuttle service, and no vehicles are located on site, there's no need to worry about transportation to the rental car office, as it is conveniently located within the airport premises.
  • When driving in Sitia, it's vital to be aware of the local driving conditions for a safe and pleasant experience. Driving in Sitia follows the right-side rule, similar to the rest of Greece. Pedestrians should be given extra attention, particularly in crowded areas and popular tourist spots. It's crucial to familiarise yourself with the local traffic laws, including the prohibition of using mobile phones while driving and the importance of wearing seat belts. Avoid drinking and driving, and be respectful of pedestrian right-of-way. By adhering to these guidelines, you can navigate Sitia's roads safely and responsibly with your car hire.
  • Sitia is a relatively small city, so traffic congestion is generally not a major issue. However, during rush hour periods, particularly in the morning (07:00 - 09:00) and late afternoon (17:00 - 19:00), there may be increased traffic on some main roads in the city. One of the roads that experiences much traffic is the Sitia-Palaikastro National Road, this road connects Sitia to the nearby town of Palaikastro. It's advisable to plan your travel accordingly to avoid delays during these peak times. Additionally, if you plan to visit Sitia during the winter months (December to February), be aware that the region may experience occasional rainy days, which could affect road conditions. So, park warmer clothes and adjust your driving with your car hire in Sitia accordingly during inclement weather.
  • Book your rental car in Sitia at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Sitia are around 82% more expensive than other car types, on average

These locations are often preferred by the police for conducting traffic checks. Therefore, it's crucial to adhere to the posted speed limits to avoid any potential fines or penalties. Safe driving and compliance with speed regulations contribute to a pleasant and stress-free experience while exploring the beautiful region of Sitia and the rest of Crete.

Outside the city centre, you may find more readily available free parking spaces.
