Outside of Athens, Greece is an ideal country for a self driving holiday, the roads are good, the scenery is spectacular and the drivers (by Mediterranean standards) are reasonable.
Distances between points of interest are very manageable by Australian standards and Aussie divers quickly adjust to driving on the right hand side of the road.
If you know Greece well just use a map and make your own way.
Greece and Mediterranean Travel Centre has very competitive car rental rates in Greece with Hertz and the longer you rent, the lower per day costs of car rental are. It is always wise in the peak seasons to pre book accommodation.
If you are seeking a car rental package with structure GMTC has a 5 day Classical Self Drive program in Greece which includes 5 days unlimited kms car rental and 4 nights accommodation with breakfast.

GMTC has an 8 day structured self drive package in Crete from $625 per person share twin which takes in most of the major sites of Crete.
