Crete Weather

Elafonisi Bay, Crete

Lying further south than the northern-most parts of Africa, it’s no surprise that the summer lasts longer in Crete than in most corners of the Mediterranean.

Location Map

The Kri-kri, sometimes called the Cretan Ibex has a light brownish coat with a darker band around its neck and two horns swept back from its head. This endangered feral goat is not thought to be indigenous to Crete, but was imported during the time of the Minoan civilization. Nevertheless, it is found nowhere else and the form is therefore endemic to Crete. Their last stronghold is among the peaks of the 8,000 ft (2,400 m) White Mountains of Western Crete, at the head of the Samaria Gorge.
