About the time in Crete
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Crete day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Around 29 people live in Crete, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Crete sits at latitude 40.98, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 36m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
