Crete experienced unusually cold and wet weather on April 24, 2026, with conditions more typical of winter than spring. The island saw widespread rainfall throughout the day, with Chania recording the highest precipitation levels. Tourists visiting Chania or traveling across the island should expect wet and potentially slippery conditions on roads and walking paths. Pack a waterproof jacket and wear sturdy footwear if exploring outdoor sites or hiking trails. Indoor attractions such as the Archaeological Museum of Chania or the covered market on Skrydlof Street are good alternatives on days like this. The weather is expected to be atypical for April, so check local forecasts before planning excursions, particularly to mountainous areas or coastal viewpoints where conditions can be more exposed.
