Crete is the largest Greek island, it is an island with an exquisite coastline of coves, bays and peninsulas, which create a number of sandy beaches along the beautifully blue Mediterranean Sea. One of the reasosns Crete has been established as one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations.

The weather in Crete is characterised by mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Coastal areas have a dry summer, mild winter. The rainy season starts in late October and lasts till March or even April. Snowfalls are extremely rare in the coastal zone of Crete, especially so in the eastern part of the island.The east part of Crete (Sitia area) is drier and warmer than the west part (Chania district). This is obvious in the vegetation. Chania is a lot greener than the desert-like Sitia area. The same difference applies between the north coast and the south coast of Crete, with the south coast being drier and warmer.

Wherever you choose to stay in Crete you will be sure of a warm welcome.
