You can see most of the Rethymno district cheaply by leaning on the KTEL intercity buses instead of a rental car, with sample fares of about 3.80 euros to Ancient Eleftherna (Eleutherna), 5.00 euros to Plakias and roughly 7 euros to Chania. The town's long municipal beach and natural spots like Preveli and the Argyroupoli springs cost nothing to enjoy, and self-catering from the laiki (street market) plus picnics keeps food costs low. Buy bus tickets at the station rather than on the bus, and travel in May, June, September or October for noticeably lower room rates than July and August.
