2Crete

While Crete is often associated with summer holidays, winter reveals a quieter, more authentic side of the island. Cities like Chania and Heraklion are less crowded but still vibrant, with historical sites, museums, and traditional markets to explore.

Winter is also a great time to hike the Samaria Gorge or visit the Lassithi Plateau. The Cretan diet, renowned for its health benefits, shines in the winter months, with seasonal specialties like wild greens and hearty stews.
