Crete is experiencing unsettled weather driven by a northern airflow, bringing rain showers and strong winds expected to persist through Sunday. Meteorologist Thodoris Kolyda confirms the conditions will continue for at least the next two days before improving. Visitors should expect cooler temperatures, gusty winds, and intermittent rainfall across the island during this period. Outdoor activities such as hiking, beach visits, and boat excursions may be disrupted or unsafe. Travelers planning day trips to exposed sites or coastal areas are advised to check local forecasts before heading out and to carry a waterproof layer. Spring conditions are forecast to return after Sunday, bringing calmer winds and warmer temperatures more typical for this time of year. Plan weather-sensitive activities for early next week if your schedule allows.
