Autumn on Crete
The autumn on Crete is nice and warm. With an average of 24 degrees in September, Crete is one of the warmest places in Europe. This period is not as busy as the summer. So if you like to have a good rest, without a lot of people, this is the best time to come to Crete. We also offer a lot of excursions and activities at this time of year. Here you will find some of the excursions we offer:
