The weather at this time is fairly cold(10C) in Athens and may be
a little warmer in Creete but still cold for swimming.

If you are in the mainland the best way is to fly from Athens to
Istanbul.It is a short and cheap trip. You can take the boat to
Izmir from Rodes.This can even be a daily trip.

If you need additional info send me some mail and I'll be
glad to help.
