Strong Meltemi Winds Spoil Sunny Sunday in Crete

Sunday, 28 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Crete is forecast to see clear, sunny skies this Sunday, but strong meltemi winds will make conditions feel rough across much of the island. The meltemi is a dry northern wind typical of the Aegean summer, and when it picks up force, it can significantly affect outdoor plans. Tourists should expect gusty conditions that may make beach time uncomfortable, particularly on north-facing and exposed coastal areas. Ferry and boat excursion services may face delays or cancellations, so check with operators before departure. If you have a boat trip, snorkeling excursion, or coastal activity planned, confirm availability on the morning of your trip. Inland areas and sheltered south-coast beaches will likely offer calmer conditions. Carry a light layer as the wind can drop temperatures noticeably despite the sunshine.
