A subtropical surprise
Compared to the north part of Crete, the south part is sunnier
and warmer. Mirtos has an extra ordinary, subtropical
climate, because it is protected by the Dikti Mountains.
This subtropical climate is almost unique on the whole
island! So spring and autumn are sunny and the winters
are mild. The summer is of course very warm, but there
is always a cooling sea breeze!

Although Mirtos is fairly small, the village offers a lot
of possibilities to have a very good holiday:
