Crete weather reviews

Elena, March 2023
I especially like Greece in spring for its freshness. I rested at the beginning of March 2023, the weather was pleasant with rays of sunshine almost every day. The air temperature was as comfortable as possible from +17 to +21, walking along the streets and going on excursions was a pleasure. It was quite fresh at night, +11, +14, sometimes I covered myself with a warm blanket. Of the interesting things, I liked the Crete Aquarium and Elafonisi Beach the most, it was a delight.
