Tuesday, July 23 brings clear, sunny skies across Crete with temperatures reaching up to 30°C. North winds will be strong, gusting up to 7 Beaufort (around 50-61 km/h), which may create rough sea conditions. Tourists planning boat trips, ferry crossings, or water activities should check with operators before departure, as services may be delayed or cancelled due to wave height. Swimmers should exercise caution at exposed northern beaches and opt for more sheltered coves on the southern coast. Visibility may be reduced during evening hours in some northern areas. Inland, conditions remain pleasant for sightseeing and hiking, though the heat warrants carrying water and avoiding strenuous outdoor activity between 12:00 and 16:00. Overall, it is a good day for exploring Crete, with appropriate precautions on the water.
