Gas and petrol stations in Crete exist in abundance, both in the cities or outside, along the big highways or rural roads.

They are usually open for business every day except Sundays; although during summer months the timetable is rather extended. From May to September most gas stations are open from 6am to 10.30pm, while during winter months they are open from 6am to 9pm.
