2. Choosing when to book:

Crete in Summer

The days are long and sunny, the temperatures are warm and inviting.

Best website for weather reports?
meteo.gr

Summer Road Conditions

Traffic is at its peak on the main roads because of the tourists but Crete is a large and vast island so there are plenty of quiet and beautiful roads.

Travelling in Summer

My opinion is to book your accommodation 2-3 months before summer to get better prices and find availability where you want. July and the first 20 days of August are the high season.
