Things to do
Crete by season
What each season actually offers on Crete: July-August heat and the meltemi wind that cancels boats to Balos, Gramvousa and Chrissi, the May-June and September-October balance, and the quiet, mild November-March low season when the Samaria gorge is shut. Covers timing, not packing lists.
