Hello, October 🍂
One of the questions I get most often right now is:
“What is Crete like in October?”
The honest answer?
It’s changeable.
Some days are sunny and warm, others can be breezy or rainy. But that doesn’t mean the season is over — not at all. October is still a wonderful time to explore Crete, just in a slightly different way.
This time of year is perfect for:
• olive oil & w**e tasting tours
• small-group experiences with local products and a traditional Cretan lunch
• quad, buggy and jeep safaris
• Knossos, Heraklion and Lassithi
• hiking and nature
• Matala and the south of Crete
• Spinalonga & Agios Nikolaos
• Santorini
And one more important thing: even if the weather is not perfect in one area, another part of the island can still be sunny and beautiful.
If you are visiting Crete in October, send me your dates and the area where you are staying — I’ll be happy to help you choose the best excursions depending on the weather. 🤍
