Rent a car in Agios Nikolaos

When visiting Agios Nikolaos, renting a car is essential for exploring the beautiful island of Crete and its surrounding areas. Agios Nikolaos is a charming town in eastern Crete, known for its picturesque harbor, beautiful beaches, and vibrant culinary scene. With a rental car, visitors have the freedom to discover the hidden gems of the region, including ancient ruins, stunning landscapes, and traditional villages.

One of the best trips to do with a rental car in Agios Nikolaos is to visit the renowned archaeological site of Knossos, located just a short drive from the town. This ancient Minoan palace is one of the most important archaeological sites on the island and offers a fascinating glimpse into Crete's rich history.
Another popular trip is driving to the iconic Spinalonga Island, a short ferry ride from the town. This historical island is home to an impressive Venetian fortress and a former leper colony, providing a unique and thought-provoking experience for visitors.
For nature enthusiasts, a drive to the Lassithi Plateau is a must. This picturesque region is dotted with traditional windmills and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

In conclusion, renting a car in Agios Nikolaos opens up a world of possibilities for exploring the best that Crete has to offer. From historical sites to natural wonders, there is no shortage of memorable trips to be made with the freedom of a rental car.

Another dynamic duo that rivals Elounda and Plaka, is Agios Nikolaos and Sissi. The city of Agios Nikolaos is named after the patron saint of sailors and hosts a fairly large port. It is most popular because of the enchanting lake which is now connected to the port, situated mid-town with restaurants and cafes surrounding it. Sitting above the lake with an outlook to the sea, words such as charismatic and chic come to one’s mind. While there are archaeological and folklore museums in the city, there are also options for those simply wishing to sunbathe on a sandy beach; namely, Voulisma, Almyros and Ammoudi. On the other hand, Sissi is a small fishing village with a similar setting to Agios Nikolaos and approx. 28km from the city. Quaint taverns and bars surround the miniature port and fresh fish is always on menus! Near to Sissi, one finds the famous Selinary Monastery and gorge, known both as a pilgrimage site and excellent for birdwatching of vultures. Both Agios Nikolaos and Sissi are perfect places to relax and experience the holiday feeling of being on an island.

For those wanting to venture off the beaten track, Lasithi plateau with its many traditional villages and hospitable inhabitants is a great place to familiarise oneself with local culture. It is also home to the cave of Zeus which, apart from a great story, is a magnificent geological experience! Moving more to the eastern – and more barren – part of Crete, beaches such as that of Makri Gialo and the village of Kato Zakros stand out for their rough beauty and as top destinations for more active holidays that may include hiking and surfing.

Most of these areas could be reached by bus, coach or hitch hiking but why have the trouble, expense and restrictions? Holidays are about relaxing and making the most of the time you have. Sterling can help you do so, by providing you with the appropriate vehicles for your adventures on Crete! Simply get in, drive and enjoy everything the island has to offer you! We will take care of the rest.

We hired an amazing Jeep wrangler. The staff was extremely helpful and stayed till late to accommodate our vehicle. By far the most trust worthy, cheap, and friendly car rental place I’ve even been to.

We rented a Fiat Panda with Sterling Rentals for our stay in Crete. Upon arrival, a short rental agreement was completed, we got the full insurance (without excess) and we paid for the car in cash. The car was also briefly inspected with us and any scratches, bumps etc were noted. We had no issues with the car and it was perfect to get around the island. Unfortunately we added a new scratch to the car, but this was no problem at all since we got the full insurance. Before returning the car we went to a self service car wash, which was much appreciated by Sterling Rentals and we filled petrol to the same amount as when we got the car. It was our first time renting a car abroad and we had a great experience with Sterling Rentals! Highly recommended!

Thank you Iris and Sterling! Best wishes Dana and Santhosh
