Winter In Crete - Rouvas Forest - Zaros Village

Winter In Crete - Rouvas Forest - Zaros Village

Crete in winter ... "Out of season" and "off-season" the right time to enjoy Crete's more peaceful nature. A good time to pursue interests, studies, hobbies, and hikes. By winter, we mean November until late March.

Winter months offer the chance to explore the uncrowded vision of Crete. In some years there is significant snowfall in the mountains (the highest peaks always receive some winter snowfall).

Greek Tomato Soup with Feta Cheese

Greek Tomato Soup with Feta Cheese

The Cretans, and Greeks love their food.

Greek cuisine mainly uses fresh local ingredients such as Mediterranean vegetables, olive oil, Greek yogurt, Greek honey, feta cheese, various types of fish and meat, and muesli. Greek dishes are delicious and packed with a variety of fresh and dried herbs. If you travel to the Mediterranean to sample Greek cuisine, be sure to try at least some of these delicious dishes.
