Είχαμε υπέροχες διακοπές στην Κρήτη ( τέλος Μαρτίου-Αρχές Απριλίου) The weather was fantastic and greatly appreciated after a long, cold wet winter at home! We hired a car and saw a lot of the countryside. Spring is a beautiful time, so green and full of wild flowers. We really enjoyed the local food and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming.
The only thing that was a bit disappointing was that not everywhere was open for business, still dusty and boarded up, and some beaches had yet to be cleared of the washed up rubbish etc. It’s a shame really, because it spoils ‘the whole picture’ for those who visit at this time of the το χρόνο. Obviously, it may not seem economically viable for some with only a limited number of customers to cater for at this time of the year to open, but surely the tourist season is either ‘open’ or ‘shut’. Perhaps the minister for Greek tourism would like to look into it? It would really be an improvement for those of us who enjoy visiting your country ‘off peak’.

Have you visited Crete or the Cyclades? If you would like to share your holiday experiences, good or bad, with others please send your comments and photos for publication on our site at:justcrete4u@gmail.com
Thoughts for improvement would also be welcome
