Back to newsGreece is currently experiencing severe weather conditions, with deadly storms affecting multiple regions alongside a significant Saharan dust event blanketing Mediterranean islands including Crete. The combination of strong winds, heavy rainfall, and reduced visibility from airborne dust poses risks for outdoor activities and travel. Tourists visiting Crete should monitor local weather forecasts closely, avoid exposed coastal areas and hiking trails during storm periods, and be aware that flights and ferry connections may face delays or cancellations. If dust levels are high, those with respiratory conditions should limit time outdoors and carry any necessary medication. Road conditions may also be affected by reduced visibility or debris. Check with your accommodation or transport provider for real-time updates before travelling between islands or to the mainland.
