7Crete – Endless Discovery Year-Round

Crete is so vast that it feels more like a small country than an island. Its mild climate makes it a perfect off-season destination. Winter is quiet yet lively enough in cities like Heraklion, Rethymno, and Chania, where museums, local markets, and tavernas stay open year-round.

In spring, Crete bursts into bloom, and hiking through Samaria Gorge or the White Mountains is a breathtaking experience. Autumn is harvest season, with olive oil production and wine festivals adding a festive touch. Crete’s deep history—from Minoan palaces to Venetian fortresses—ensures there’s always something to explore, no matter the season.
