Saturday, 20 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Strong winds of up to 8 Beaufort (about 62-74 km/h) are affecting the Aegean Sea and Crete today, June 20. While inland temperatures are warm and sunny, with Athens reaching 31 degrees Celsius, coastal and sea conditions are significantly rougher. Visitors planning ferry crossings or boat excursions around Crete should check with their operators before departure, as services may be delayed or cancelled. Beach activities on exposed northern and eastern coastlines may also be uncomfortable due to strong gusts. Those staying inland or in sheltered southern bays should experience calmer conditions. Monitor local forecasts and follow guidance from your accommodation or tour provider before heading out on the water today.
