Hotels in West Crete, Greece

West Crete, on Greece's largest island, offers hot, dry summers (around 90°F/32°C) and mild, wet winters (near 60°F/15°C). Famous for its rugged landscapes and turquoise waters, you can hike the Samaria Gorge in spring or relax on Elafonisi's pink-sand beaches in summer. The Old Venetian Harbor in Chania buzzes with affordable seafood tavernas, while winter brings cheaper rates and quieter walks through the 16th-century fortifications.
