Many of us dream of escaping the chaos of the holiday season and getting away to somewhere, not exactly warm but pleasant and certainly not very cold, over the last couple weeks of December. Crete is a great place to spend the holiday season with temperatures at a low of around 10 degrees Celsius and a high of around 17 degrees Celsius, a complete absence of the intense tourist crowds that can appear at other times of the year, and lots to still enjoy for those interested in a different experience of Greece. In addition, if you head to Chania around Christmas Day, you’ll be rewarded by the most extraordinary sight: the streets filled with Santa Clauses running around.
