Car Rental in Sfakia, Crete
New 2024 to 2026 cars, no hidden fees. Pick your dates and find your car in seconds.
Chora Sfakion is the proud capital of Crete's wild south coast — a small ferry port beneath the White Mountains and the springboard for car-free Loutro, the Aradena gorge and the boat back from Samaria. The mountain road in is spectacular, and a car is the only practical way to explore the region.
Collect at Chania Airport (CHQ) or our Kolymbari office; the drive south over the Imbros plateau is part of the experience. Delivery to Vryses by arrangement (fee applies).

The road from Vryses climbs over the Imbros plateau with hairpins and the occasional goat — take it slowly. There's a paid car park at the harbour; Loutro has no road, so you park in Sfakia and take the ferry.
