RETREAT
During the winter season from beginning of October until the 1st of May, the south of Crete is more or less deserted. There are no boats sailing from Sfakia and only a few people people stay in Finikas for the winter, and in Loutro shops and restaurants are closed.
In this unique and quiet period Finikas Resort has shown to be a good setting for meditation retreats, contemplating studies and creative work.
The weather is normally rather shifty, with day temperature 17-22 °C and at night 12-14 degrees.
