Book your rental in minutes and enjoy exciting Orthodox Easter celebrations.
Easter is, undoubtedly, one of the best times to visit Crete. The Orthodox Easter does not usually coincide with the Catholic Easter, which is celebrated earlier, most of the times. The weather, in Crete, is good at Easter and offers the ideal combination of the spring and the early summer heat. The temperature ranges between 16° and 22° and it is perhaps the most suitable time for the first swim in the sea.
Many of the religious and ancestral customs still go on to the present day on Crete. From Holy Monday to Holy Saturday, the people go to church and attend the Mass. Every day, the Mass is special and different for the Orthodox Tradition. Jesus' path to the Crucifixion and Resurrection is described through the Gospels. It is the special season for the Churches and monasteries which are adorned with flowers.
