DRIVING FROM CHANIA TO FRANGOKASTELO BEACH

Arriving at Chania airport, hiring a car is the smartest option. With a cheap car rental you can easily explore Crete, the largest island in Greece! A hidden gem of the region is Frangokastelo beach. It will take you an hour and a half to get there but believe us, it's worth it! The Frangkokastelo village took its name from the castle built by the Venetians on the coast to protect the inhabitants from piracy.

In front of the Castle there are three beaches with crystal clear waters while behind it rise the alluring Lefka Ori (White Mountains), the largest massif of Crete. Ask the locals about the story of the Drosoulites, the unexplained human shadows who, according to a legend, appear every May on the castle walls.

Since you are in southern Crete, do not miss the picturesque Chora Sfakion. It is highly likely you will be willing to explore even more this impressive region. Do not worry! Since you rent a car from Chania, WinRental offers the flexibility to change your contract, after consultation.
