Too late to travel to Crete in December?

[dpappas87]

Is it too late to travel to Crete in December? I am going to visit some people for the holidays, but I also want to do some sightseeing.

Someone told me that Crete shuts down in October, but people still live there so it can't possibly be a ghost town.

What shuts down, exactly? Will I still be able to go to museums and stuff this time of year?

It's great to travel to Greece all times of the year! People still live there so only the touristy places shut down. I believe the museums for example stay open.
