Is April a silly time to holiday in Crete

Hi
We would love to holiday in Crete this year and we had pencilled in a week towards the end of April.
However, when we went to the travel agent today they said Crete holidays didn't really start til the beginning of May and that before that we might find most places were still shut up for the winter.
Is this true? We don't want to find that we are restricted to eating in the hotel every evening because the local restaurants are closed. We also don't want to hire a car and so might have been on the look out for an excursion or two - having said that we really just want to potter around and enjoy the town in which we stay.
We were particularly interested in going to Paleochora but would be grateful for your suggestions for where best to go in April given the above.
Thanks in advance, we really would appreciate some advice.
