Back to newsTemperatures across Crete are reaching up to 31°C this week, with warm and sunny conditions expected through Sunday, June 28. The heat is typical for late June and concentrated in inland areas and low-lying coastal zones, while sea breezes offer some relief along the northern coast and popular beaches. Tourists should plan outdoor activities, hikes, and archaeological site visits for the morning hours before 11:00 and after 17:00 to avoid peak heat. Stay hydrated, apply high-SPF sunscreen, and wear a hat when exploring exposed sites such as Knossos or the Samaria Gorge. Water temperatures are warm and ideal for swimming. Light winds are forecast for most of the island, with no significant weather disruptions expected for travel or outdoor events this weekend.
