The mountainous areas can see snowfall during the winter months, and Crete enjoys the longest stretch of warm weather. Visit from April to mid-June, when the weather is warm and less humid. Three weeks before the start of Lent, the carnival season in Greece begins, and you can enjoy 21 days of entertainment, parades and feasts. The Easter season is widely celebrated. On Good Saturday, locals head to the church to receive the Holy Light at midnight. Afterwards, spectacular fireworks light up the night sky.
