Why not visit Crete out of season, You can still get a tan in Nov/Dec and its cheaper - Here's a quick guide..
NOV,DEC & JAN: Tourism comes to a halt at the end of October with the end of charter flights. These months are as quiet as February & march but the chances of nice weather are much higher. It is also still possible to swim in the sea. All in all, a great time to be on Crete if you are prepared to risk the odd day of rain.
FEB to MARCH: This is the real winter time. The weather can be cold, Windy and rainy, so avoid these months!
APRIL:The weather can be very pleasant or very rainy. The nights will still be cool. After the winter rains the island is at its greenest and literally carpeted with flowers. April sees the first tourists & is also the time of the Greek Easter (not on the same date as the Catholic Easter), the most important feast of the year giving you the best opportunity to experience the hospitality of traditional Crete.
MAY: The start of the season, not busy and a lovely time to visit Crete, a great time to go.
