A morning in Crete begins with the low hum of a diesel engine and the sight of olives flashing silver in the sun. Your chauffeur meets you at the hotel door in Rethymno, sliding the door of a Mercedes or Range Rover open with a practiced ease. The road unfurls — coastal bends that dare you to look, mountain passes that push the view wider — and the island’s layers reveal themselves: Venetian harbors, limestone ridges, and terraced orchards.
