WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT CRETE? 🇬🇷☀️
I get this question all the time — and I always say: it depends.
But here’s what people rarely tell you:
April and May can be full of surprises.
Last Easter, my mom came to visit.
She booked an all-inclusive hotel — the plan was simple: relax, and let the kids spend the whole day in the pool.
Well... it rained. A lot.
It was cold, cloudy, and no one even touched the pool 😅
And it’s not just one year.
In May 2023, tourists arrived with nothing but light summer clothes — and ended up wearing the same jeans and jackets they flew in with.
☝️ So, if you're visiting Crete in spring:
Pack layers. A hoodie. Maybe a light raincoat. Just in case.

☀️ Summer (June–August)
No surprises here — just sun, sea, and heat.
Perfect for beach lovers, but it can get really hot, especially inland.

🍇 September — the golden season
My personal favorite!
The sea is warm, the air is soft, and the heat is no longer exhausting.
Perfect for beach days and for exploring.
And don’t get me started on the fruit — figs, grapes, melons everywhere.

🍂 October — hit or miss
Some years it’s a dreamy Indian summer: golden light and calm seas.
Other years — storms and rain for days. Just like that.
