Crete is currently experiencing unsettled weather, with rain showers and strong northerly winds reaching up to 9 Beaufort (severe gale force) across the island. These conditions are affecting coastal areas most significantly, and sea conditions are rough, which may disrupt ferry connections between Crete and other Greek islands or the mainland. Tourists planning boat trips, excursions, or water activities should check with operators before heading out, as services may be delayed or cancelled. Outdoor sightseeing is still possible but pack a waterproof layer and expect cooler temperatures than typical for this time of year. The unsettled spell is temporary, and calmer, sunnier spring conditions are forecast to return within the coming days. Keep an eye on local weather updates and your accommodation host for the latest forecast before planning day trips.
