The Samaria Gorge in western Crete will be closed this Sunday due to strong winds, making entry prohibited for the day. Port authorities are also on heightened alert as a result of the weather conditions, which may affect ferry and boat services in the area. Tourists planning to hike the gorge, one of Crete's most popular attractions, should postpone their visit and check for updates before rescheduling. Those with plans to travel by sea along the western coast, including the boat connection between Agia Roumeli and Sfakia or Paleochora, should confirm schedules with local port authorities or their tour operator before departure. Conditions are expected to be monitored throughout the day.
