Anyhow have a good car rental company in Crete? I'd rather use a local company since they seem to be cheaper. Also, has anyone stayed at the Blue Beach hotel or any other hotels in Stavros (Akrotiri Peninsula, near Chania)? I've always stayed around Heraklion but am thinking about mixing it up for my next trip :). Thanks!

Hi Kim
We spent a week in Crete in 2007. Normally we do our own bookings but this time we took Matt Barretts advice and used Petra from Fantasy Travel.
Generally we prefer Budget accomodations and were happy with their selections. Generally they suggested accomodations, we checked them out and on occassion made alternate suggestions. They have special rates with some hotels, so generally we went with places where they had preferred rates.
Anyway here are the places we stayed and the car company, links included:
Hotel Irini – Iraklion - http://www.irini-hotel.com/
Coral Hotel- Ayios Nikolaos- http://www.greekhotel.com/crete/agiosnikolaos/coral/home.htm
