Strong Northerly Winds Hit Sunny Crete on Thursday

jeudi 18 juin 2026/Source: Google News/1 min de lecture

Thursday brings sunny skies across Crete, but strong northerly winds (known locally as "vorias") are expected throughout the day. Wind speeds may be significant, particularly along exposed coastal areas and mountain passes. Tourists should be prepared for gusty conditions, especially if planning boat trips, water sports, or excursions to hilltop sites such as ancient ruins or gorge trails. Beach-goers may find conditions choppy along north-facing shores. Light layers are recommended as the wind can make temperatures feel cooler despite the sunshine. Check with local operators before booking sea excursions, as departures may be delayed or cancelled depending on conditions. Overall, the weather remains pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities on sheltered terrain.
