Crete is not as hot anymore in September. The first two weeks of September see daytime temperatures around the 30's. Evenings are still warm but occasionally a jumper maybe required. The Cretans - especially the ones who work with tourism - although tired from the summer season are getting more relaxed. Life in Crete still outdoors and especially in September the evenings are warm and lazy. The second two weeks see daytime temperatures of mid 25's. Crete's beaches are quieter and the tavernas more sedate! Evenings become a little cooler and a jumper may be needed. Spetember is also one of the preferred periods for hikers. One drawback is that, as it has not rained for several months, the landscape is quite dry. September is a beautiful month to enjoy Crete at its best.

Crete and its 300 days of sunshine enjoys one of the healthiest climate in Europe. The Mediterranean climate//weather prevails in most regions of the Crete island while in winter months there is substantial snowfall
in the highest mountainous regions. Rainfall is also substantial. Quite often during summer months a hot wind (Livas) blows. Crete weather is relatively mild, Mediterranean. During the fall and winter months north and northwest winds dominate, while in the summer the ill winds make it enjoyable. But the divine gift of the eternal sunshine allows one to start their vacation from March and end it at the end of October. Tourists often decide on their vacation spot depending on the climate and weather in Crete (Creta). The southern and eastern regions of CRETE tend to be warmer and drier than areas in mid, western and northern areas of the island.
