Back to newsFuel prices in Crete are rising and are expected to reach approximately 2.10 euros per liter of unleaded petrol by May 2026, according to local reports. Industry sources indicate the market has entered an upward price cycle with no reduction expected in the near term. For tourists planning to rent a car or motorbike during their visit, this is a practical consideration when budgeting for transportation. A typical compact rental car with a 45-liter tank would cost around 94 euros to fill. Travelers may want to factor higher fuel costs into their itinerary, particularly if planning longer drives to destinations such as Elafonissi, Vai, or the Samaria Gorge. Comparing fuel prices between stations and filling up in larger towns rather than remote areas can help reduce costs.
