Thursday, 11 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Greece's General Secretariat of Civil Protection has issued official recommendations to regional authorities and municipalities across the country in anticipation of deteriorating weather conditions. Local services in Crete have been placed on alert as part of these nationwide preparations. Tourists currently visiting or planning to travel to Crete should monitor local weather forecasts closely over the coming days. During periods of severe weather, outdoor activities, hiking, and coastal excursions may become unsafe or temporarily unavailable. Ferry services and small boat trips can be suspended with little notice when strong winds or rough seas are forecast. Practical advice: check your accommodation's local contacts or the official Civil Protection website (civilprotection.gr) for updated regional alerts. Keep emergency numbers handy (European emergency: 112) and avoid risky coastal or mountain areas during active weather warnings.
