The southernmost of the Greek isles, Crete enjoys mild winters and searing hot summers. Visitors may be disappointed if they visit during Crete's rainy months (January, February, March) when temperatures are, on average, between 10 and 15 degrees celsius (50 degrees and 59 degrees in fahrenheit). Visitors during these months are usually mountaineers or those seeking a city break in Heraklion or Chania.
