I've never made a "rate the climate" poll for this climate, because the timespan is too short. (Just 9 years) But yes, even if there would be 1981-2010 climate data it would probably have the highest mean temperature in southern europe. ( Not counting places like the Canary Islands)
I'd give it a B, Summers are awesome, except the lows which are a bit too high, and Winters are a little bit too cold.
Yep unfortunately the Observatory of Athens has just 9 years of data worth for Palaiochora so far.I think Ierapetra again in the south of Crete (SE) has data worth of 40+ years from Greece's metoffice but SE Crete has a totally different climate compared to SW.
Also correct me if I am wrong but I think even areas in the Canary's have lower than 20.7C mean annual temps though most are around 21C.

Actually its very dry during the summer virtually everywhere in south Crete
Yes it will be bone dry with constant sunshine June-September, however humidity will be high by the coast which is what I meant. This is why it would feel worse than Miami, as it would be oppressively humid but also with the sunshine blazing down constantly, unlike Miami where they get respite from thunderstorms
Although summer would be too hot, don't like the average lows of 26C, and being coastal it would feel worse than Miami with the humidity and constant sunshine.
However, the rest of the year is simply perfect, and the summers only need a few degrees taken off from the lows and highs to become ideal
I've been there (and Sfakia), it's nowhere near as humid as Miami...
In fact, I'm have a taste of Crete right now
