Crete is well known as a perfect holiday destination for the summer. Visitors to this Greek island find sun, beaches, hospitality, beautiful country side and the healthy Cretan kitchen. All these ingredients provide for unforgettable holidays and it's no wonder that this island in the Mediterranean has a big number of “return tourism”.

They return to “their island” where they feel at home, sometimes even more so than in their own country. Summer is the main season for the millions of tourist visiting the roots from Europe, In the meantime the winter season remains an unknown.

Between November and April the tour operators leave the island in peace and that’s exactly the mood that many people are looking for in these stressful times. Crete lies in the subtropical parts of Europe; the climate can be compared with the Canary Islands of Spain, South Portugal, Malta and Cyprus. Winter in Crete offers you many sunny days, sometimes there broken up by dark clouds or a short tropical shower in which the nature has the chance to recover from the hot summer.

But afterwards we can enjoy the most attractive face from Crete, its nature that offers you a carpet with flowers, the highest mountains with snow on their tops and cities and villages that bring out daily life with all its social aspects.

Crete in the winter…..you should consider this possibility to enjoy this famous island in another season.
