Getting to Skaleta
A small seaside village on Crete's northern coast, about 12 km east of Rethymno: relaxed, sun-soaked, and ours for the weekend.
Arbora Olea Luxury Resorts
Three villas tucked into a twelve-acre olive grove on Crete's northern coast, with infinity pools, sea views, and a warm nod to local tradition. This is where we'll say "I do."

By Ferry
Direct links run from several Greek islands to Chania and Heraklion. Crossings take 8+ hours but make for a scenic route. Check schedules well ahead, as boats don't run year-round.
We recommend renting a car for the weekend: Crete's public transport is limited, and a car makes it easy to reach Skaleta and explore the island at your own pace. Let us know early if you'd like help coordinating a shared car or accommodation.
What to Expect: September in Crete
Early September is one of the best times to visit: the peak summer crowds have started to thin out as the new school year begins back home, but the weather is still reliably warm, dry, and sunny. Days are long, evenings are pleasantly mild, and the sea, after a whole summer to warm up, is at its best for swimming.
These are typical seasonal averages, not a forecast — we'll share the actual outlook closer to the date.
