Back to newsFuel prices across Crete remain significantly elevated despite a notable drop in global crude oil prices, sparking widespread frustration among residents and local consumer groups. Petrol costs at Cretan filling stations have not reflected the international price decline, with critics arguing that suppliers and distributors are slow to pass savings on to consumers. The situation is drawing increasing public pressure on authorities to investigate pricing practices. For tourists renting cars or scooters during their visit, expect to pay above-average fuel prices compared to other European destinations. Filling up in larger towns like Heraklion or Chania may offer marginally more competitive rates than remote or coastal areas. Budgeting around 1.80 to 2.00 EUR per litre for unleaded petrol is advisable when planning road trips across the island.
