Back to newsCrete is currently experiencing severe weather conditions as a storm system moves across Greece. The island is among the worst affected areas in the country. Visitors should expect strong winds, heavy rain, and possible disruptions to ferry and flight connections, particularly at ports and regional airports. Outdoor activities, beach visits, and excursions may be unsafe or cancelled during the storm. Tourists are advised to monitor local forecasts, stay in contact with their accommodation or tour operator, and avoid coastal areas and exposed hilltop sites until conditions improve. Check with ferry operators such as ANEK and Minoan Lines for schedule changes before travelling to or from the island. The situation is developing and conditions are expected to ease once the weather system passes.
