Back to newsCrete is entering the week under clear skies and rising temperatures, consistent with the island's peak summer season in late June. Visitors can expect strong sunshine throughout the day with little cloud cover and minimal chance of rain. Temperatures are likely to reach highs typical of this period, generally between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius in coastal areas and potentially higher inland. Tourists should plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Staying hydrated, wearing sun protection, and seeking shade during peak hours (11:00 to 16:00) is strongly advised. Beach conditions should be favorable, and sea temperatures are warm for swimming. Light clothing and sunscreen with high SPF are recommended for the days ahead.
