Back to newsStrong northern winds are expected to affect Crete this weekend, bringing gusty conditions across the island. Visitors should be prepared for choppy seas, which may disrupt ferry connections between Crete and nearby islands or the mainland. Beach conditions could be rough, particularly on north-facing coastlines, so swimmers and water sports enthusiasts are advised to check local conditions before heading out. Wind speeds may also make outdoor activities such as hiking or sightseeing on exposed hilltops less comfortable. Tourists with ferry or boat excursion bookings should confirm departures with their operator, as schedules can change on short notice during periods of strong winds. Conditions are forecast to ease after the weekend. Staying updated through local weather services or your accommodation is recommended.
