Roads are good but Crete is a very large island. A major expressway runs the length of the island east/west while roads going north/south are mostly single carriageway and snake over impressive mountains and through dramatic gorges.
The main highway runs the length of Crete following the north coast. It’s not dual carriageway but it is wide, well maintained and well signposted, providing easy access to the north coast beach resorts. Roads over the mountains are generally excellent but the winding roads often mean journey times are longer than expected from reading a map.
