when is the best time to relax in Crete
Crete is the warmest resort in Greece. The swimming season here lasts from late April to October. And the tiny island of Gavdos, which belongs to the administrative region of Crete, is the southernmost point not only of Greece, but of the entire continent.
Vegetation on the coastal areas of the island is rather sparse. But when it comes to crops, Crete is no exception. Here, as in the rest of Greece, almost everything grows. In the mountainous regions of the island, coniferous trees, mainly pines, predominate.
