Back to newsA significant heat wave is set to sweep across Crete starting Tuesday, bringing a sharp rise in temperatures across the island. Meteorologists are forecasting a warm air mass moving in from the south, pushing the mercury notably higher than seasonal averages. Visitors should expect intense midday heat, particularly in inland areas and low-lying towns. Tourists are advised to stay hydrated, carry water at all times, and avoid outdoor activities between noon and 4 PM. Beach visits are best planned for early morning or late afternoon. Apply high-SPF sunscreen regularly and seek shaded areas during peak hours. Those exploring archaeological sites such as Knossos or Phaistos should plan visits for early morning when temperatures are more manageable. Keep an eye on local forecasts as conditions may evolve throughout the week.
