Back to newsThe Heraklion Port Authority has issued a wind warning for the waters around Heraklion, with gusts expected to reach up to 8 Beaufort (approximately 62-74 km/h). Conditions of this strength are considered dangerous for small vessels and may cause disruptions to ferry services connecting Crete to other Greek islands and the mainland. Tourists with scheduled ferry departures from Heraklion port should check with their ferry operator for delays or cancellations before heading to the terminal. Those planning boat trips, water taxis, or sea excursions are advised to postpone until conditions improve. Swimmers and beachgoers should exercise caution along exposed coastlines, as rough seas and strong waves can develop quickly. Monitor local port authority updates and your accommodation provider for the latest guidance.
