Crete Disabled Visitors
Until very recently Crete was not equipped such as to allow free movement of disabled people.
Sidewalks are uneven. Wheel chairs allow disabled travelers better mobility. The slim shape of scooters may make it less difficult to navigate around Greece's passageways.
For Walker/Cane/Stroller Users, rubber soles are absolutely vital to give a grip on slippery stones since in Crete, most gravel are marbles.
Buses are generally not very accessible, but the latest buses on main routes will have a space for wheelchairs and a lift. Trains and ferries are almost completely inaccessible to people with mobility difficulties. Catamarans tend to be the better bet for handicapped travelers, with big cabins.
International hotels provide the best accommodations for disabled visitors, however these are very expensive and completely wheelchair-friendly rooms carry prices higher than US $70 per night. Hotel Eria contains a pool lift and particularly equipped sightseeing vans. Disabled visitors are uncommon, thus, it is very important to query the management’s capability at handling handicapped visitors before taking a residence.
Many areas of Knossos are available to wheelchair. Parts of Mycenae are fairly reachable, but the steep ancient ramp intended to trouble invaders will be a difficulty. Access by wheelchair is poor past the Lion Gate.
The main floor of the Heraklion museum is accessible.
