WHAT TO PACK FOR CRETE
October in Crete brings the kind of Mediterranean weather made for moving, exploring and lingering over dinner. There are warm, sun-filled days without the intensity of peak summer.
Daytime temperatures typically reach 21–25°C, with evenings cooling to approximately 15–18°C. The sea remains beautifully warm, so your swimwear is still very much coming with you.
