Sea water temperatures along the Cretan coastline are currently typical for the Mediterranean in late June, generally ranging between 24°C and 27°C depending on location and exposure. Popular swimming spots such as Paleochora on the southwest coast, Myrtos on the south coast, and Vai on the far eastern tip each offer slightly different conditions due to their geography. South-facing beaches tend to be warmer, while exposed northern shores may be a degree or two cooler. These temperatures are comfortable for swimming and snorkeling throughout the day.
