Do you have any idea how comfortable it would be from January to March? Hard to find this info because it is really not absolute temperatures in bigger cities that matter... Is heating done with ACs?
Might try October, but really it is mid January to mid March I am trying to escape from where I stay, since it is gloomy and all I do is burn wood. October-November is still great, grapes are just getting ripe!
October-November is a great time without any tourism in November. But the winter months are tough. You need a chimney to keep You dry on days with a lot of humidity because houses were mainly constructed decades ago. Dec-Feb I can't recommend

Bad news, but I somehow expected it. Thanks for saving me the trouble. I guess the alternative is an apartment in a big city in Crete during that time, but that kinda defeats the purpose of spending time in Crete.

Yes. The center of Chania for example is deadin the winter season. But one tecommendation in case You go to the south between April and November: make this little boat trip from Paleochora to Chora Sfakion and stay one night in every of these lovely places. No cars, just nature and peace. Here You get a first glance: https://www.sfakia-crete.com/sfakia-crete/ferries.html

Amazing, thanks! This also answered the question I didn't dare to ask, for being too private - SE or SW? And how to move between places in the SW, since there are no roads.

They provide a good bus connection. It's called KTEL
