Weather
Wintertime can be a bit of a mixture, however, compared to northern European countries it's still fairly warm here. From November to February the weather can change quickly although we still have many sunny days. The wettest month is generally January and the coldest is usually February with an average temperature of around 15 - 17 degrees. It can be lower but again there is always some sunshine around with some rain and this is the reason Rethymno is so green. If you enjoy being very active you might like to consider coming during spring and Autumn. The weather is warm in March, April, May and October and we enjoy many hours of sunshine. Beach life is still an option but if you are planning to walk any of the many Gorges, cycle around or perhaps just don't enjoy really hot weather, it may be advisable to plan your visit during these cooler times when temperatures rarely go over 25 degrees and the evenings more often than not require a lightweight jacket. During the off-season is a great time to visit the popular holiday destination if you want to avoid summer crowds and escape the colder weather back home. You’ll need to pack warm clothes for the cool temperatures at night, which can drop to lows of around 7°C. Things begin to warm up again in the morning to around 17 degrees and the sun shines for around ten hours a day, giving you plenty of time to sightsee and explore the city.
