🍇 Every year on November 8th, w**eries across Greece open their doors to visitors for a special Open Winery Day! 🍷

This year, we had the pleasure of visiting one of them, discovering local w**es, enjoying the beautiful atmosphere, and experiencing a little piece of Crete’s w**e-making tradition. ❤️

What can you do in Crete in November?

🌿 1. Explore traditional villages. Visit charming little tavernas, taste local food and experience authentic Cretan life.

🏛️ 2. Discover Heraklion. Wander through the old town, visit the Archaeological Museum and explore the island's fascinating history.

🏞️ 3. Take a road trip around the island. Visit Rethymno, Chania and Lake Kournas and enjoy beautiful landscapes without the summer crowds.

🍷 4. Discover Cretan traditions. Taste local w**e, olive oil, delicious cheeses and traditional dishes.

🥾 5. Enjoy nature and hiking. Cooler temperatures make November a lovely time for walks and lower-altitude trails. Always check trail conditions before setting off.

🚗 6. Rent a car and explore. Stop wherever you like, discover hidden corners and enjoy the freedom of travelling at your own pace.

☕ 7. Slow down and enjoy the moment. Have coffee overlooking the sea, stroll along the waterfront and enjoy long lunches in cosy local tavernas.

November in Crete isn't about a beach holiday. It's about atmosphere, discoveries, local traditions and enjoying the island at a slower pace. 💙

It's October 30th! Crete is getting ready for the spookiest night of autumn! 👻🇬🇷

Autumn seems to be playing a little trick on us! Instead of pumpkin fields, we have palm trees. Instead of cold winds, we enjoy the warm Cretan sunshine. And instead of snow, there's the beautiful Mediterranean Sea! 😍
But even on sunny Crete, Halloween is in the air!

🕸️ Shops are filling up with pumpkins and spooky decorations. 🎃 Cafés and restaurants are adding a little Halloween magic to their interiors. 👻 Children and adults are choosing costumes and getting ready for fun themed parties.

Of course, Halloween isn't a traditional Greek holiday, but people here also love a good excuse to dress up and have fun!

Just imagine: a witch against a palm tree backdrop, pumpkins by the sea and a Halloween party under the starry Cretan sky! 🧙‍♀️🌴

Now tell us!

🎃 Do you love Halloween? 👻 Would you go to a Halloween party in Crete? 🕸️ Or would you rather enjoy a quiet evening by the sea?

We'd love to hear your answers in the comments! 💙

Crete After Peak Season: An Island to Fall in Love With All Over Again 🍂💙

Have you ever wondered what Crete looks like when most tourists have gone home? 🌿

The island seems to take a deep breath… and reveal a completely different side of its soul.

☀️ Beaches become quieter, giving you more space to find your own little paradise.

🌊 The sea is still beautifully blue, and seaside walks feel more peaceful than ever.

🏡 In traditional villages, everyday island life returns. Locals meet in tavernas, enjoy their coffee, and take their time.

🚗 The roads are quieter, making it easier to explore places you might have missed during the busy summer months.

🍷 Autumn is also the perfect time for long lunches, delicious local food, mountain views, and unforgettable sunsets.

Crete doesn't become less beautiful after peak season. It simply slows down. And perhaps this is when you can truly feel the soul of the island. 💙

Would you visit Crete in autumn, or is this island a summer destination for you? ☀️🍂

Who said boating season ends in summer? 🚤☀️

The best part? No rush, fewer crowds, and that magical feeling that summer hasn’t quite left you yet! 😍

Of course, October weather can be unpredictable, so always check the forecast and sea conditions before heading out.

WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING HOME FROM CRETE BESIDES A MAGNET? 🇬🇷💙

Be honest… who else leaves souvenir shopping until the very last day of the holiday? 😂 The suitcase is already full, but somehow there’s still room for half the island!

Here are a few things worth bringing home from Crete — little reminders of your Greek summer that will make you smile long after your holiday ends. ☀️

🫒 1. Extra virgin olive oil
A true Cretan treasure! Rich, flavourful and perfect for salads, roasted vegetables and delicious homemade meals.

🍯 2. Cretan honey
Especially thyme honey! Aromatic, full of flavour and a lovely gift for anyone who appreciates natural products.

🌿 3. Local herbs and mountain tea
Oregano, thyme and Greek mountain tea, including dittany where available. One cup or a pinch of herbs can bring back memories of sunny Crete.

🍷 4. Raki or local w**e
A little taste of those unforgettable Cretan evenings. Just remember to check your airline’s and destination’s rules for carrying alcohol.

🧼 5. Olive oil skincare
Natural soaps, creams and other skincare products make practical gifts that are easy to enjoy at home.

🏺 6. Handmade pottery
A beautiful cup, plate or little vase — something special that will remind you of Crete every day.

🧿 7. Greek-inspired jewellery
Evil-eye bracelets, olive branch designs and handmade accessories. Small souvenirs, big memories!

🧡 8. Traditional Greek sweets
Sesame and honey pasteli, loukoumi, biscuits and other local treats. Just make sure you leave some room in your suitcase!

✨ My tip: Don’t just buy a souvenir. Choose something that brings back the feeling of Crete — the scent of olive trees, the taste of local honey and those warm evenings by the sea.

💙 Now tell me: what do you always bring home from Greece? Do you have a favourite souvenir or a little local treasure you recommend?
