Crete
Ideal hotel service. The best months to go are September and October.
The tourist season in the northern part of Crete lasts. In the south it lasts from November to November, so throughout October you can still enjoy warm water in the sea. Therefore, if you decide to go to Crete in mid-spring or autumn, choose the southern part of the island.
