Sure, it’s possible to explore Anogia without wheels. But with so much to see and do, having one is sure to make your trip much easier. If you’re eager to head out into some nature, opt for something with a little extra power. A full-size car or an SUV could be just the ticket. A smaller car, like a mini or a compact, is a great choice if you’ll only be taking shorter trips.

You’ll be happy to hear that there’s a broad range of both luxury and economy rentals in Anogia. What you go with will depend on your budget and the activities you’ve got planned. Prestige vehicles offer the best in mod cons and comfort. If you’re splurging, why not pick up an elite SUV, or perhaps a cushy medium-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you’re just after a set of wheels to whiz around town in as cheaply as possible, maybe go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your wallet).
