East Crete is the sunny side of the island, famous for the Minoan Palace of Knossos and Europe's only palm beach at Vai. With hot, dry summers (30°C / 86°F) perfect for windsurfing at Kouremenos Beach, and mild winters (15°C / 59°F) ideal for hiking the Samaria Gorge without the summer crowds, you can explore ancient ruins like the 4,000-year-old Phaistos disk or swim in crystal-clear coves along the Libyan Sea. In spring, wildflowers cover the Lasithi Plateau, and you can join a guided tour of the Diktaean Cave-mythical birthplace of Zeus-without paying peak-season prices.
