This route is recommended to those who are not in a hurry and who share our view that motorway driving is boring and sometimes frustrating, a kind of waste of time. If you are not convinced, yet there is another reason to prefer toll free routes: paying for motorways could be a waste of money too. The toll rates for the Athens-Corinth stretch is 10 euros (price for RVs) for a distance of 46 km. Is this an exaggeration or a joke?

Crete: stopovers in Rethymno
Next day we headed to Rethymno driving through the hills. To be honest, we were trying to avoid as much as possible the north coast which is heavily affected, to put it politely, by tourism development. We made a quick stop at the campsite ‘Elizabeth’ to take a look at the ground and then we drove to the city where we found a great, super convenient parking spot by the sea and very close to downtown.
Cretaquarium and Creta camping
After nearly a week of pure bliss and serenity by the sea it’s time to experience the “all inclusive” face of Crete. To say that the stretch of road between Ag. Nikolaos and Heraklio is busy would be a major understatement. It’s an endless row of big hotels congested by minibuses, coaches etc. Yet there is room for surprises in this hell: the must-see Cretaquarium and the camping ‘Crete’ (with a special offer for friends of camperistas.com)
