The area...

Set against the backdrop of a secluded bay, Daios Cove nestles on a hillside on the beautiful northern coast of Crete. The main town of Agios Nikolaos is just a 10 minute  taxi ride, where you can find a range of restaurants, bars and shops and an interesting port.

From here you can take a  boat trip to the famous Spinalonga Island, a fortress and former Leper colony famed in the book ‘The Island’ by Victoria Hislop.

Crete has numerous archaeological sites too with Knossos being well worth a visit – the myth of the lair of the Minotaur will keep the children entertained!

What will the weather be like...

Crete is the most southerly of the Greek Islands and therefore on average is warmer and there is less chance of rain than more northerly Greek destinations.

June – September inclusive expect long sunny day with 10 -13 hours sunshine, virtually no rainfall and daily average highs of 26-29 degrees and warm nights rarely dropping below 20 degrees. There is a chance of a mini heatwave with temperatures well over 30 degrees mostly in July or August.

May and October remain sunny with 6 – 8 hours of sunshine, with on average 3-4 days that have some rain in the month (much less likely than Northern Greece) and temperatures consistently in the mid 20’s. The sea should be lovely and warm in October too.
