Crete is expecting temperatures of up to 34°C this Monday, with a new heat wave set to arrive in the coming days. Conditions will be hot and sunny across the island, particularly in low-lying and inland areas. Tourists should plan outdoor activities for early morning or late evening to avoid peak heat, typically between 12:00 and 17:00. Stay hydrated, apply high-SPF sunscreen, and seek shade during midday hours. Beaches will be busy, so arriving early is advisable. Those visiting archaeological sites such as Knossos or Phaistos should bring water and wear a hat. The heat wave is expected to intensify later in the week, so monitor local forecasts and follow any advisories issued by Greek authorities regarding extreme heat conditions.
