Our beautiful island of Crete has contrasting seasons, 300 days of sunshine a year, snow on the mountains in winter and a glorious explosion of wildflowers in spring. Weather Crete The best times to visit are early spring and late summer/autumn. Swimming temperatures are good from Easter until November. The seasons bring their different activities such as grape harvest, wine-making, drying out the sultanas, making the raki, picking mandarins and harvesting the olives.
We watch the white, dry soil baked by the summer heat turn moist and grow grasses and wild greens in autumn and winter. We watch the olives turn from hard, light green to lush, dark purple under the winter sun. We watch the grapevines turn from lush green, bearing fruits to empty and dry, orange and yellow in the autumn sun.
