Where will you be to pick up the car? We need to understand where you will be before we suggest place to see and do.

Sorry we do not yet have sufficient information on where you plan to be. Old town Crete can be in Heraklion, Rethymnon or Chania.
so we know you will arrive in Heraklion. Are you staying there and you want some information about Heraklion?

I highly recommend that you stay in Chania, a beautiful town with a varied cultural history.
Must see- each town has an Old Town section which I recommend you visit.
December will mean that you won’t be able to do many of the warmer weather activities.
Crete has influences of its many conquests. Look for restaurants serving traditional Greek food and you will find Cretan influences. We ate fresh local fish grilled with a squeeze of lemon every single day of our month in Greece.
