When to go in Crete?

The best time to go to Crete is between April and October. Although the beaches are packed in July and August, the climate is lovely, the water just the right temperature and the evenings warm. The shoulder seasons are ideal for hiking. Avoid travelling between November and March, when everything closes earlier and it can rain.

My favorite parts were the port cities. Really charming. And of course the food and wine.

We absolutely loved Crete. The landscape is incredibly varied with dramatic mountains and beautiful coastlines. Our trip was planned so that we enjoyed a number of different locations with accommodation that was often unique, remote and comfortable, in beautiful, peaceful locations with fabulous hospitaliy. This was an active, adventurous holiday in a beautiful place which we wouldn't hesitate to return to in the future.
