Crete Sunny But Windy: Ferry Delays Expected This Weekend

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

This weekend, Crete will enjoy clear, sunny skies with temperatures reaching up to 28°C (82°F), making conditions pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities. However, strong northerly winds are forecast, gusting up to 8 Beaufort (roughly 62-74 km/h), which will create rough sea conditions across the island. Ferry and boat services may be disrupted or delayed, so travelers with island-hopping plans or day trips by sea should check with their operators before departure. Swimming is not recommended on exposed northern coastlines due to high waves and strong currents. Sheltered southern beaches such as those around Matala or Paleochora will offer calmer conditions. Inland excursions to gorges, monasteries, or archaeological sites remain a good option for the weekend. Pack a light jacket as the wind will make temperatures feel cooler than they are.
