Back to newsGreece is currently experiencing a sustained period of sunny weather, with temperatures across the country reaching up to 35°C. In Crete, visitors can expect hot, dry conditions typical of the island's peak summer season. These temperatures are common for July and are forecast to continue.
Tourists should take practical precautions: drink at least two liters of water per day, avoid outdoor activities between 12:00 and 16:00 when heat is most intense, and apply high-SPF sunscreen regularly. Lightweight, loose clothing and a hat are strongly recommended for sightseeing. Beaches will be busy during this period, so arriving early at popular spots such as Elafonisi, Balos, or Vai is advisable. Air-conditioned museums and indoor attractions offer a good midday alternative. Heat-related illness is a real risk at these temperatures, particularly for children and elderly visitors.
