"I thank the company Centauro for its professionalism and the cooperation of its team in facilitating the pickup and return of the car, which was very clean and exactly as I expected—unlike the experiences many have had with other companies. I recommend Centauro to anyone looking for transparent dealings and good service."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Great Service from Centauro! I had a fantastic experience renting a car from Centauro. The booking process was easy and transparent, with no hidden fees. When I arrived at the office, the staff was efficient and friendly, and they explained everything clearly. The car I received was in excellent condition – clean, modern, and very fuel-efficient. I especially appreciated how quick the pickup and return process was, which saved me a lot of time. Their full insurance option gave me peace of mind during the trip. I drove through [city/region], and the car handled perfectly the whole way. Overall, Centauro exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again on future trips!"
"This was one of the smoothest car rental experiences I have ever had. Right on the web site the company proposed the best rental conditions at the most reasonable price without a trouble for the client to think about the amount of insurance deductible (also called excess), the size of security deposit and warry about whether they will accept debit card (which most people have) or will request credit card (which by far not all people may have). At the airport exit, the driver of a pickup courtesy bus was clearly visible. The pickup courtesy bus was clean and comfortable. The personnel in the office were helpful and kind. The car provided was new and even of a higher class than originally requested. After the rental car return, we were delivered to the airport by the courtesy bus."
"The guys in the office very polite and helpful.The car new and very clean. I enjoyed a Crete road trip with a nice suv , I hope I can be back some time"

You can go on this tour driving your rental car in just over 10 minutes, thanks to the E75, known as European Route. It runs through Crete’s most important cities and is toll-free. From the airport there are flights to any location in Greece and its islands, such as Athens, Rhodes or Corfu. And also international flights to major European cities, such as London, Berlin or Barcelona, as well as to various cities in Italy (Rome, Bergamo or Venice).

The best option to see all the corners of the island at your leisure. A driving route through an island full of legends and enigmas, where you can try find the mythical Labyrinth of the Minotaur.
From the port you can go on a route through its narrow streets and its secrets. There you will see the Koules fortress, known as the Venetian Harbor, which dates back to the 13th century. As you go down one of the city center streets, you will enjoy other ancient monuments, each belonging to a different civilization. The Agios Titos Cathedral belongs to the Byzantine Empire, the Agios Minas Cathedral is one of the largest in Greece and the Loggia (today the city’s town hall) has a Venetian style.
In the heart of its historic center you will find a curious fountain, also of Venetian style. It is the Morosini Fountain, which is more than 400 years old. And if you want to visit museums, we recommend the Archaeological Museum, one of the best in the whole country. Also, try taking a walk through the bazaar and browsing among its stalls.

We recommend you to drive to the beaches in the north of the city and also make a contrast visiting the most mountainous part of Crete. The village of Agia Varvara is very beautiful and representative of this type of Cretan landscape.
Based on vegetables and olive oil, you can’t miss dishes such as gemista (vegetables like tomatoes or zucchini stuffed with rice), agria xorta (boiled vegetables served with oil and lemon) and one of their most emblematic desserts, the koulourakia (quaintly snake-shaped butter cookies with sesame).
