Toeristen niet blij met benzineprijs

Grieken zelf vinden de prijs op Kreta hoog

Provincies Chania en Rethymno voeren iets hoger prijzen


Foreign and Greek visitors to the island are dissatisfied with the fuel prices displayed in Crete.

This week the price of unleaded sold to service the county reached from 1.57 to 1.64 euro per liter.

Specifically Chania and Rethymnon are areas of the country with higher prices. "Everybody tells us that gasoline is expensive. Compared with six months ago it has risen over 50 cents. We have customers that after a few days of car rental asked another, smaller displacement, which consumes less fuel , "says Mr Christos Milonakis, chairman of the Association of Owners of car rental in Chania. Mr. Milonakis gives an example of a customer from Macedonia: "a customer came from Kozani and asked how they gasoline can be so expensive. A few days ago he had put fuel in the car, at home, at 1.45 euros per liter. With these prices we are certainly not helping tourism.

As explained by the chairman of the Union Venzinopolon Chania, Mr. Vaggelis Kotsis: "This time the average price of gasoline around Chania is 1.60. But it is always something new because the fuel was expensive and the prices have not changed. Indeed, a month ago it was more expensive. However, for this week an increase is justified, but there might be some reduction, 1-2 cents, because of falling oil prices internationally.
