When it is the more suitable season for holidays in Crete ?
Spring in Crete it is a combination of green bloomed nature, snow in the mountains and temperatures 20 – 25 0 C. Preferable month it is the May because March and April they can be rainy. The May is a quiet month without a lot of tourism and the prices of apartments are lower. This period the island is green with snow in the mountains and other natural beauties, a lot of flowers and bloomed trees. The temperature in the sea is still in low levels roughly in the 20 degrees, for bold swimmers. In this season Easter is celebrated, that we recommend you are present in a jag with the locals, they will call you in their table, you will eat abundant traditional foods and most likely you'll get drunk with them.
In the summertime the proper months are June and July. The temperature is from 28 – 35 degrees, there isn't much tourism and you can make your marine travels without discomfort and with calm sea. In the contrary to August because of school holidays, the traffic is increased and the prices are higher and the sea is more wavy than before.
The autumnal months the temperature falls similarly with spring, however the temperature of the sea is in high levels. The tourism is decreased compared to the summer and you have the possibility of enjoying the sun without the burns of summer.
