Those who book a Crete holiday during the off season will still have a variety of attractions to visit during their stay.
This is according to Charles McDermid, writing for Time magazine, who said the northern port of Chania is "the place to be" during the cooler months.
He advised exploring the city's array of restaurant, shops and bars that are located close to the seaside promenade, as well as wandering the numerous alleyways and taking a look at the harbour and ancient brick shipyards.
In addition, there are Minoan ruins and Roman fortresses that are only "a day trip away", along with many archaeological sites and cultural museums to explore.
In addition, a trip outside of the summer months does not necessarily mean having to brave a chill, as last November was the hottest since 1926 with temperatures as high as 25 degrees c.
Last month, one writer for the Sheffield Telegraph noted a trip to the Knossos archaeological site was one of the highlights of her visit to the Mediterranean island.
