Crete is experiencing temperatures reaching into the low 30s Celsius (around 86-90°F). This warm weather is typical of the Cretan summer season and affects the entire island. Visitors should stay hydrated throughout the day, apply high-SPF sunscreen, and avoid prolonged outdoor activity during peak heat hours between noon and 4 PM. Lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended. Beaches will be busy, so arriving early secures better spots and parking.
