Sunday, May 24 will bring overcast skies and rainfall across Crete, according to the Greek Meteorological Service (EMY). Conditions are not expected to feel summery, with cloud cover and showers affecting the island throughout the day. Tourists planning outdoor activities such as beach visits, hiking, or excursions to archaeological sites should carry a rain jacket and check conditions locally before heading out. Roads in mountainous areas can become slippery during rain, so drivers should exercise caution, especially on mountain passes in the interior of the island. Coastal areas may also see reduced visibility. The unsettled weather is part of a broader pattern affecting Greece. Conditions are expected to be temporary, and visitors are advised to plan flexible itineraries. Indoor attractions such as museums and historic sites remain good options for Sunday.
