I went to Crete in 2008 for a conference, I was near Chersonissos. But, it was April. Everything was empty, all the restaurants were closed and most of the buildings were dismantled. I’ve never seen a sadder place. They told us “well, you have to come in Summer!”, I sure hope for them that it looked better. But, I had the best gyros pita I’ve ever had.
I often have trips in places while there it is low season. I’ve come to the conclusion that if the place feels sad and deserted, it doesn’t deserve to be travelled even in high season.

We visited Santorini in winter. It was still quite lovely though, just a lot of the tourist amenities were closed (from restaurants to museums).
Santorini is a real gem.

Cool, have fun! And get some Backerbsen for my colleague, will you? 
He’s from Austria, and they are his favourite food ever.

What are you talking about? They just have very good balance, and they’re sitting on top of the sticks.
