The Port Authority of Agios Nikolaos has raised its alert level for Sunday, May 3, following an official weather forecast warning of strong storm-force winds and thunderstorms affecting the area. Travelers planning to take ferry or boat services in and around Agios Nikolaos on Sunday should check with their operators before departure, as sailings may be delayed or cancelled. Those on the island are advised to avoid exposed coastal areas and open water activities such as boat trips, swimming in rough conditions, or water sports. Agios Nikolaos is located on the northeastern coast of Crete, roughly 65 km east of Heraklion. Conditions are expected to be disruptive for most of the day. Monitor local port authority announcements and your accommodation staff for updates before heading to the coast.
