Who wants to see Crete with me?
I will be in Crete from 20.06-11.07 (Agios Nikolaos).
Who wants to join and drive around Crete with me? I can also show you interesting places in the city of Agios Nikolaos. I have been going to Crete for the 4th year already, so I know it quite well.

Why can't people themselves rent a car and watch CRETE? I myself am going to "CRETE" on 06/26/2013. And I'm also going to take a car, is it so difficult?

Olga, hello. We are traveling with a company from 16.06. We will also take different rides. It will be great to meet with the resident of TurPravda, so to speak, in a combat situation. We can share different interesting places. For example, I know a place where a local peasant buried the remains of a German paratrooper, a British infantryman and a Greek partisan, and gathered around him various military equipment and turned out to be a small museum of the Second World War. Or I know a place where they rent the best buggies on the island. So it makes sense to meet.

It seems that everyone now has a right, but not everyone can drive. Not everyone is given it easily, especially when they find themselves on the roads in Europe.

Olga, what is your interest in being a tour guide? It is sometimes difficult for different people to watch together, because everyone has their own pace of viewing places and interests are different.
аватар nikolai2
I also can’t understand Olga, why does she need strangers on car trips? I completely agree with the question from "Solea" !!!
аватар IR-ina
I explain for those who do not understand WHY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR FELLOW TRAVELERS, my point of view (if my plans were to go to Crete at the same time as Olga, who offers to "unite", I would gladly join):
1. I had a license for 10 years, but with the madhouse in medicine that is now in Russia, I can’t change it for new ones (you need to get a medical certificate first: there are more doctors for women, who don’t know).
2. Even if I have a license, I DO NOT WANT TO REST AT THE DRIVE. For me, rest is when I can relax. I don’t see well, I don’t want to drive a car on the unfamiliar mountain roads of Crete (I’m used to driving on the plain)
3. If the company's interests converge, there is someone to share impressions with, and new ideas may arise: after all, people are different, they know different things or want to see. Something you can learn just from a fellow traveler
4. There are people who simply psychologically need a company: it gives them strength and confidence. I don’t know about you, but the “navigators” helped me drive the car. And when several people who know how to drive are in a car, you can change places, and not "load work" on one.
So the company is not needed if you are traveling with friends or a couple.

Firstly, the valid rights in Russia and Ukraine on the territory of Greece and in Europe as a whole are also valid as well as on their territory (you need to carefully read the rules for the validity of documentation in Greece and what penalties await you there if you violate the rules. Secondly, my opinion is that a foreign company of fellow travelers does not acceptable, especially abroad.

Good evening everyone (Solea, nikolai2, IR-ina, oro.egor)!!!
Reply to Solea, nikolai2: not all people have driver's license + my hobby is touring Crete + I like to drive and drive when I come to Crete.
Reply to IR-ina: thanks for the support! to be honest, I didn’t even think that my proposal could cause any discussion :)))

Dear olgabondar16541! This is the purpose of the forum to discuss certain news and impressions about tourism. I also like to drive cars and especially travel by car. In this case, take me with you (just kidding). in Bali hotel "Atali Village". In this case, you have a good rest!
аватар nikolai2
Question to "olgabondar16541" And what hotel will you be in and on what date???
аватар olgabondar16541
Crete 20.06-11.07, Lassithi area, I am still deciding on the apartments. I booked apartments through booking one for 25 euros / day, the second for 40 / euros per day. While deciding which is better :). I have another choice: they offered me an apartment for only 525 euros for 21 days.
P.S.: but you are still on your own and without me.

And if it's not a secret where are you from? I'm from Kiev. But you said that you love driving, and two people (driving lovers) are a conflict. But in general, I joined the voyage with pleasure.
аватар Kolia_oro.egor
Olya. We will arrive before you, I will immediately buy a local sim card and give you a phone number. New acquaintances are great. Our company is diverse, but interesting. A professional motorcycle racer (speedway), a fan of flowers (a scientist-organic chemist), a lover of fur coats (a simultaneous interpreter), your obedient servant (an international lawyer), etc. So, we need to meet. We love new friends, drinking companions and fellow travelers. Life is boring without them.

answer for nikolai2: I live in Moscow.
reply to oro.egor: Nikolay, where are you and your company from? Do you want to walk through the Gorge of the Dead (Kato Zakros)?
аватар Solea
and I'm just from the category that does not drive a car. My local friends took me there. Sorry, I don't know exactly when I'll go to Crete. As long as things don't go away.
аватар Kolia_oro.egor
Mostly from Moscow. One couple from Kirov.

Question to "oro.egor": - And where can I buy a local sim card? So I was in Baku, it’s not possible to buy a local SIM card there, they sell it only to locals and with a passport so that they have a local residence permit. My relatives live there, I had to take them in their own names in order to somehow keep in touch with them there.
аватар Kolia_oro.egor
Can. With a passport.

Reply to nikolai2: I didn't understand your speech about rights. I repeat: the rights are valid for 10 years, then they need to be changed. To change is a problem associated with medical officials. About fellow travelers. I never liked passengers in a car (if it's ballast that only trend and distracts from the road, it's better to ride alone). I was talking about a "navigator" who HELPING you drive: while one is driving, the other is looking around or at the map. I met a company in Crete, the driver of the company was sitting next to me. And he complained: everyone is resting, eating and drinking, but I can’t, because. behind the wheel. Therefore, it is very useful to change places. It is generally impossible to explain to those who do not have a license at all that their chatter interferes with driving

Oh, Olga, how you "hooked" me with this: would you like to walk along the Gorge of the Dead? Really want to. When I went to Crete in 2011, this trip was in my plans. But already at home, after looking at the bus routes, I realized that nothing would work out: the bus was once a day, from Stalis, at 8 in the morning. I left my driving license at home so that my fellow traveler would exploit me less. They lived in Ammoudara (Herakleon). Then I tried to find some kind of driver in Crete, I was ready to pay to get to such inaccessible places, but it didn’t work out (the same applies to the mountain monasteries of the Byzantine era, even the natives often don’t know about them and haven’t seen them, they are closed, people nearby don’t live). I wish there were more offers like yours. Have a good rest

Reply to IR-ina: I plan to fly to Crete next year, so...... join me in 2014 :)))))) I will be glad! Where are you from? I am from Moscow; you can email me: [email protected]
P.S.: cryomaniacs of all countries - unite!!!

Answer for "IR-ina":What is there to understand? You have rights in Russia for 10 years, we have in Ukraine for 25-30 years. And in general, I like to travel by car myself, no one distracts me and I listen to SuperMax music in the car, it helps a lot not to fall asleep at the wheel.
