When to Go
Surrounded by the spectacular Mediterranean Sea, Crete offers boasts sunshine throughout the year. The best time to visit is during late spring or early summer before the weather turns too hot. The historic sites are also less crowded in springtime, and the weather is pleasantly warm.
Two different climate zones exist on Crete: the southern coast, which is closer to Africa, is warmer, while the northern part of the island is cooler, with snow in the mountains in the winter and spring.
