We have used 121 carhire

We have used 121 carhire for many cars over approx 15 years and the website is easy to use booking the car and for the type and price of cars. However trying to deal with your agents over the phone to change or cancel a booking is 'not' a pleasant experience. It was frustrating speaking with your unfriendly agents who did not try and find a workable solution for the changes we needed to make to our booking due to flight changes. It was easier to just cancel the booking with 121 car hire and book directly with the car company who were wonderful in assisting and making the booking. Your agents over the phone are very autocratic and direct ( borderline being rude ) 121 car hire would benefit in creating a more friendly and helpful service to clients when dealing with your agents over the phone.

Heraklion also has a large shipping port and ferry dock (see image above). This serves as a gateway to take ferries across the waters to Egypt, Greece, Haifa, and a number of other close by destinations.

If you want to avoid the major tourist season, it is best to avoid Crete in the summer months. Many tourists form all over the world love to travel to Crete on their summer vacation.

Car Hire

Travelling around Crete is no problem at all. Book cheap car hire at Heraklion Airport here today and grab a bargain. Arrange to collect and drop-off your car at the airport. Heraklion has a major highway network with the E75 running through the city, connecting it to three other major cities.

There are public transportation options available, like the buses and taxis but car rental in Heraklion is a preferred choice by many tourists. Heraklion Airport car hire desks are located in the arrivals Hall, including AutoEscape, Avis and Hertz.

Climate

Crete is lucky to have a warm, Mediterranean climate. This means that if you are a tourist, you will be able to enjoy a winter vacation to Crete and avoid the rest of the crowds. Winters are cool, but there is rarely any frost or snow that falls. Heraklion would be an excellent tourist destination for anyone who would like to travel in the Mediterranean and stay on a Greek island.
