Back to newsTemperatures in Crete are reaching 32 degrees Celsius today, bringing hot summer conditions across the island. Visitors should stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and carrying a bottle when exploring outdoor sites. Avoid prolonged sun exposure during peak hours between 11am and 4pm, particularly at open archaeological sites such as Knossos or coastal areas with limited shade. Lightweight, breathable clothing and sunscreen with high SPF are strongly recommended. Beach destinations will be warm and ideal for swimming, though the heat may make midday sightseeing uncomfortable. Plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon to make the most of your visit while avoiding the strongest heat of the day.
