Back to newsCrete is set to experience a new heat wave, with temperatures expected to climb to 33°C (91°F) across the island. Visitors should plan outdoor activities for the early morning or evening hours to avoid peak midday heat, typically between 12:00 and 17:00. Stay hydrated, apply high-SPF sunscreen, and seek shade during the hottest parts of the day. Lightweight, breathable clothing is strongly recommended. If you are planning hikes or visits to archaeological sites such as Knossos or Samaria Gorge, bring extra water and check site operating hours, as some may adjust schedules during extreme heat. Beaches will be crowded as both locals and tourists seek relief. Monitor local forecasts and follow any advisories issued by Greek authorities regarding heat safety.
