Crete is a beautiful Greek island. For many, it is associated with summer beach holidays. However, Crete can be enjoyed at any time of the year. What awaits you in April?
Crete is the largest Greek island, washed by the azure sea, mesmerizing mountain landscapes, ancient cities with a history stretching back millennia.
April is the official start of the tourist season in Crete. The weather is still changeable. Of course, winter is over, but the rains are still falling and the nights can be cool. Nevertheless, for many residents of Russia, the weather in Crete in April does not differ from our summer. During the day, the temperature can range from 20 and reach 25-27 degrees. The sea is still cool - 17-18 degrees, so swimming in April is for everyone and for walruses. ⠀
At the same time, it is in April that Crete blooms. You won't see him like that in the hot summer months. And of course, this is the perfect month for those who prefer active holidays to lying on the beach. There are still few tourists, the archaeological sites are all yours, the gorges are blooming, and a beautiful view opens up from the mountains. ⠀
The month of April is a low season, which is reflected in prices. The owners of hotels and apartments give good prices to the first tourists; renting a car can be a little cheaper than in the high season. But the prices in supermarkets do not differ from the seasonality. In April, it is better to choose hotels and apartments within the city, as many establishments in tourist villages will be closed.
A holiday in Crete in April is suitable for you if:
- you don't like the heat and don't want to push through crowds of tourists wherever you go ⠀
- you like looking at the sea more than swimming in it
- you have a baby who cannot yet be bathed in the sea, but you really need to breathe in the sea air
- you like to explore new things and your awl does not allow you to sit still
- you urgently need to get rid of vitamin deficiency
April is not suitable for you if:
- you go to Greece exclusively for the sea and tan
- do you like to go on group excursions
- even a little cloudiness drives you into despondency.
