Back to newsThe Meltemi winds, which typically bring strong northerly gusts across the Aegean during summer, are expected to ease across Crete on Tuesday, bringing calmer conditions island-wide. Temperatures will rise as the wind drops, creating ideal beach weather for visitors. This is good news for tourists planning boat trips, water sports, or coastal excursions, as rough seas caused by Meltemi can often disrupt these activities. Beach conditions across the north and south coasts should be pleasant, with lighter breezes and warmer air. Visitors should still apply high-factor sunscreen and stay hydrated, as reduced wind can make the heat feel more intense. Those with outdoor activities planned for Tuesday should take advantage of these favorable conditions, as Meltemi winds may return later in the week.
