Speed limits are: 50 km\/h in the city, 90 km\/h outside the city, 120 km\/h on the highway. The use of seat belts is mandatory for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2>Special Features of Cretan Roads<\/h2>\n<p>Crete has wonderful road networks but also peculiarities: narrow roads in the villages, sharp bends in the mountains, and goats walking on the road. Always be careful.<\/p>\n<h2>Fuel and Gas Stations<\/h2>\n<p>Fuel prices in Crete are similar to the rest of Greece (around 1.70-1.90 EUR\/liter). In the major urban centers you will find many gas stations, but in the hinterland and southern Crete they are more sparse.<\/p>\n<h2>Parking<\/h2>\n<p>Parking in the cities of Crete can be a problem, especially in the summer. Tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use official parking (paid or free)<\/li>\n<li>Don't park in prohibited spots \u2013 the fines are high<\/li>\n<li>In the old town of Chania and Rethymno, you have qualified public parking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Toll<\/h2>\n<p>The Heraklion-Chania national road has tolls (approximately 3 EUR). It is the only complete toll road in Crete.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Do in Case of an Accident<\/h2>\n<p>In case of an accident: call the police (100), ambulance (166), and inform the rental company immediately. In <a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\">JK Tours<\/a> We offer 24-hour roadside assistance.<\/p>\n<h2>Driving at Night<\/h2>\n<p>Avoid driving on rural or mountain roads at night.
