Greece Heat Wave Threatens 35°C as Aegean Winds Buffet Ferry Routes

Tuesday, 23 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Greece is experiencing a significant heat buildup this week, with temperatures expected to reach 35 degrees Celsius across many regions. In Crete, visitors should prepare for hot, dry conditions during daytime hours. The Aegean winds will bring some relief along coastal areas and on ferry routes between islands, though these winds may cause choppy seas and potential delays for smaller vessels. Showers are forecast primarily over the Greek mainland and are not expected to significantly affect Crete. Tourists should plan outdoor activities such as hiking, archaeological site visits, and beach trips for early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat between noon and 4 pm. Carry water, wear sun protection, and seek shade during midday. Air-conditioned museums and indoor attractions are a good option during the hottest hours of the day.
