Is Crete right for you?
Crete is large enough for its regions to feel like different holidays. Chania and Heraklion airports serve different coasts, so checking the correct airport and transfer is especially important.
When to go
The principal beach season runs from spring into autumn. The hottest and busiest weeks fall in summer, while shoulder months can suit exploring but bring more variable weather and seasonal opening times.
