Crete's Mediterranean pattern delivers hot, dry summers and mild winters, and the busiest stretch for visitors falls between June and September. Cooking on the island leans on fresh seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, so the local food culture rewards anyone eating out. Ferries link the Greek islands, and flights from Athens and major hubs reach Crete as well, making arrival by sea or air equally practical. Greek is the main language spoken across Crete, and a few words go a long way in shops and tavernas.
