Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Karave?
The best area to stay in Karave is the main town, particularly around the harbour and the streets directly inland from it.

This area is the heart of Karave, offering a blend of traditional Cretan life and modern conveniences. You'll find a pedestrianised promenade along the harbour, lined with tavernas and cafes. The streets immediately behind the harbour, like Odos Eleftherias, are home to many local shops, bakeries, and guesthouses. It's a very walkable area, with most amenities within a few minutes' stroll.

Couples looking for a relaxing and convenient base will find the harbour area perfect. You can enjoy evening meals with sea views, take a leisurely walk along the waterfront, and easily access boat trips to nearby beaches or islands. The proximity to high-quality dining and charming local shops makes it ideal for a romantic getaway.

For families, staying slightly inland from the immediate harbour front, perhaps a street or two back, offers a good balance. You'll still be very close to all the action and dining options, but can find accommodation that feels a bit more residential and less bustling in the evenings.
When is the best time to go to Karave?
The best time to visit Karave, Crete, is from late May to early October, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for enjoying the island's beaches and outdoor activities.

For those looking for a relaxing beach holiday, June and September are ideal. The sea temperatures are pleasant for swimming, and the resorts are fully operational but less crowded than in the peak summer months. You'll find plenty of opportunities for sunbathing and water sports, with the added benefit of pleasant evenings for dining outdoors.

July and August are the warmest and busiest months. If you enjoy a lively option and don't mind higher temperatures, this is a great time to visit. All attractions and restaurants are open, and there's a buzzing energy across the island. However, it's advisable to book your accommodation and flights well in advance during this period.

If you're interested in exploring the island's historical sites or hiking its stunning gorges without the intense summer heat, late May or early October are excellent choices.
