How is Greece in October? Autumn on a Greek Island in Crete

[@Sunpire]

What do you think about October in Greece?☀🤔

[@ninadiamant8937]

Still can go on holidays!

[@BoVa-gr]

October weather is nice💙💙👍👍

[@davidlatham2143]

I was in chania from the 3rd to the 17th and the weather was incredible. Had such a good time i will definitely travel at that time of year again

[@kevlar268]

The wife and I were there from 3rd to 10th October this year. Stayed in Neo Chorio and the weather was amazing. Not a day below 27 Degrees. Took trousers and hoodies in suitcase, didn't wear them once. The whole week was in shorts and t-shirts only. Will be back October 2025. Cant wait. Found my happy place, and hopefully 1 day will move to Crete, but being a UK citizen and thanks to brexit its going to be difficult to achieve.

[@Sunpire]

The beginning of the month was fantastic, really warm! Crete is truly a special place, for holiday and for living!💙 It's true, it is very complicated for UK citizens to move here. Options are very limited. There is a FB group British in Greece that is very useful on this topic. Maybe you want to join.😊

Loved the October weather & really enjoyed exploring Chania. We’re off to Athens now…. till next time kids 😉

[@Sunpire]

Have a great time in Athens, guys!💙🙏 it was nice meeting you!🤗

[@GregoryLenetis]

[@Sunpire]

Thank you so much for this video, looking forward to visit the island next year in October but a little bit worried about the weather. This year my husband and I went to Santorini and Naxos late April and it was cold, well it was for us because we live in the Caribbean (mostly 85 degrees fahrenheit and above most of the year). So this video give us a clear idea of what to expect. Thanks again!!!

[@Sunpire]

You are welcome 😊 🙏 🤗. Is Crete better than the Caribbean?

[@vask3863]

Northern Greece is already pretty cold, windy & wet during this time of the year (just unusual dry the last couple of years). We get single digits during the nights and 13-23 during the day. Definetly not a time for beach holidays.

[@Sunpire]

Now towards the end of the month it gets a bit cooler too, bit we still had some nice hot sunny days. On the mainland and other islands is different for sure. Thank you for watching and for the info💙🙏

[@tedn6855]

@Sunpire there is less difference between mainland and islands than people make out. The difference is more mountainous regions and inland greece vs coastal greece. Athens has many microclimates. The coast on athens in the middle of winter can be nice while a short drive away its 6 degrees colder. From what I have seen in climate data rhodes has the most extended summer season.

[@Sunpire]

That makes sense!😊 Even here in Crete there are microclimates. As everywhere, mountainous regions are cooler. Crete might me slightly warmer due to its southern position.

[@tedn6855]

@Sunpire in the dead of winter crete especially eastern crete is the warmest. The big difference is the 2 or 3 snow days the rest of greece gets usually skip places like sitia. It does make a difference for certain crops. But when it comes to October weather very little difference.

Well done you 2 keep the hard work going ❤

[@Sunpire]

Thank you very much for watching us and for your support 💙💙🙏🤗

[@ipakqurti9065]

A month ago I was here!🤩Great video!

[@Sunpire]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!💙 you were here in Chania on holiday?😊

[@ipakqurti9065]

@@Sunpire We stayed in Kalyves for 9 days at the end of September, we visited Chania too

[@Sunpire]

That's beautiful!💙

[@Madivnar]

so takeaway is - first half of september best time to visit, still warm, sea is warm, and a bit less ppl than july/august :).. looking forward to another farmer's market video (try to show more produce and prices, it's always interesting)

[@Sunpire]

Thank you for watching and commenting as always 🙏❤️ We will make a video from the market this weekend! 😁 I'm very curious to see what we'll find.

If you are in Central mainland of Greece or in the north of Greece, it’s colder and they already have heating on for a month now. But the islands are a different story.

[@Sunpire]

Absolutely! Crete is one of the warmest ones. The weather looks different depending on the area. Thank you for watching and explanation! 💙🙏🏻

[@tedn6855]

BS I just got back last week and went swimming everyday.

[@vask3863]

@@tedn6855 No it's real.

[@tedn6855]

@@vask3863 I should have been better informed to realize I was cold when I went swimming. I thought I was warm when I went for a swim at agiokampos. I guess I was wrong and needed you to tell me I was cold.

[@dimi3446]

@@tedn6855 Excuse me? What do you mean? Even I have heating on since mid October or smth an hour outside of Athens. I have many friends from Karpenisi, Florina, Metsovo and Drama and they had heating on since mid-September there. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@joseantoniomorales2249]

Are the gorges closed in the fall / winter?

[@Sunpire]

They are still open in October 😊For example Samaria Gorge will be closed from November until May.

[@selena2250]

Have you been to or considered living in Albania or Montenegro? Just wondering about the comparison ☺️🙏

[@Sunpire]

No, we haven't. The only countries we considered and why we choose Greece are in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGHQkJafot2bqK8 💙🤍🤗

[@Gk-ug6gu]

We are really facing climate change. Greece was never that hot, dry and sunny in the whole October! Usually from mid September -mid November it's really wet, rainy, foggy, gloomy, stormy etc. And then starts to get cold with fresh snow in the mountains. Even for November the forecast is really bad. Sun, sun and hot abnormal temperatures for this time of year.

[@Sunpire]

We did hear that this was the hottest year, with the hottest summer and winter, draught, etc. I know for farming this is not good knew. People were really struggling with the lack of water here on the island😌

[@tedn6855]

Get a grip I was in greece for October 2021 and it was cold. Just enjoy a warmer than average year without whining.
