Agios Nikolaos City Car Hire

Pick up your rental car at Agios Nikolaos harbor and begin your exploration of eastern Crete directly at the waterfront. One rental company is available at this picturesque harbor, surrounded by restaurants and cafés. The harbor is the starting point for boat trips and provides easy access to the coastal road toward Elounda and Sitia.

Agios Nikolaos harbor is located in the northern part of the town, 6 km north of the city center coordinates. From here it's 10 km to Elounda (15 minutes) and 65 km to Sitia (1 hour). The coastal road heading north toward Plaka and the Spinalonga area is one of Crete's most beautiful drives.

1. The harbor area can be crowded with tourist boats and deliveries – plan your pickup outside peak season rush times. 2.

Fill up your tank in Agios Nikolaos town before heading east – gas stations become scarce toward Sitia. 3. Take the coastal road north instead of E75 for a dramatic driving experience along the cliffs.

Is it the same rental company as in Agios Nikolaos city center? Not necessarily – compare available rental companies at each location on hyrbilar.se for the best price. Can I park for a long time at the harbor?

Short-term parking is available at the harbor but is limited. Drive away immediately after pickup. How far is it to Vai palm beach from here?

Vai is about 90 km to the east, approximately 1.5 hours via E75 and Route 26.
