Is Crete Okay for a Handicapped Person?

[auroracoor1]

I'm planning a trip to Crete and was wondering about its accessibility for handicapped people. My family member uses a walker, and we want to ensure they have a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Can anyone share insights or experiences regarding accessible accommodations, transportation, and attractions on the island? Are there specific areas or services you would recommend or suggest avoiding?

Any tips on accessible beaches or scenic spots would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Some places on Crete are better than others. As you probably know, the ancient areas and hilly nature of the country make it very tough.

I would recommend you take a cruise or find a resort in a prominent area, like maybe in Athens or something like that, and make sure that the hotel you stay at is wheelchair accessible. Cruises, especially larger cruise companies, are more handicap friendly too.

Out of curiosity, where did you want to go?
