The Mazda CX-5 Automatic feels like the kind of SUV that fits Crete’s roads well. Renting it through Best Cars Rental keeps things simple, and the automatic gearbox really helps when the climb toward Askifou starts getting twisty or when you’re heading up to Anogia on those narrow mountain stretches. It’s roomy without feeling heavy, steady on rough patches, and just easy to live with. If it sounds like your style, you can book it and be on the road in no time.
