Back to newsWednesday brings a welcome shift in Crete's weather as the Meltemi winds ease across the island. These strong northerly winds, common in summer, had been keeping temperatures in check, but their retreat means the mercury will climb noticeably. Visitors should expect hotter conditions and calmer seas, making it a good day for boat trips, beach activities, and coastal excursions. If you are heading to exposed hilltop sites or spending extended time outdoors, carry water and sun protection, as the combination of reduced wind and rising heat can make midday hours feel intense. The calmer wind conditions also generally mean smoother ferry and water taxi services between the island's ports and nearby islets.
