Pelophylax cretensis is an endemic Cretan frog, whose biology has not still been studied in detail. Here we present some details regarding the hypsometric distribution and habitat requirements of P. cretensis that indicate this frog is an adaptable species, and can inhabit different types of water bodies up to 1330 m a. s. l.
