For the most of us, Crete is a Summer destination. That is mostly correct. Perfect beaches, the sun...wonderful hotels and villas to stay, lively bars and clubs. And above all reasonable prices.
Yet Crete has more to offer. Think this : You play golf, and with the northern Europe heavy weather, you can only play during late spring or summer. In Crete you can have really bargain vacations, as hotels are dramatically reducing their winter prices, and play as long as you desire in the exceptional Cretan Golf Club.
In fact your hotel will be happy to arrange transfers to and from the club and make all the necessary reservations for you.
Now if you are more the bon viveur type, and you are looking for gourmet dinners, and fine wines. Also Crete is the place for you. Appart that you can schedule excursions in the beautiful cretan mountains and try local specialties with the locals, there are numerous restaurants, and wine bars in the main cities (heraklion, rethymno, chania, Agios Nikolaos) where you can dine like a king.
Crete is really beautiful every season. Yet during winter it will be a memorable break conidering you might spend for 10 days what you might spend for a weekend in a ski resort in France.

Hello all,
ReplyDeleteWinter months offer the chance to explore the uncrowded vision of Crete. In some years there is significant snowfall in the mountains. The winter of 2004 saw record-breaking snowfall during the month of February. Thanks a lot......
