Hi,
Never been to Crete before and are thinking of taking our 9 year old to Stalis in July and have read that it can be pretty hot there in July/August. Although he is pretty good in the heat as long as there is a pool or a beach but was just wondering if there is a sea breeze and does it cool down at night?

My wife and I take our daughter (now 7) most years in July. There is usually a westerly breeze which brings big waves during the day. It drops at night and can be very warm so make sure you have air-conditioning. It's not too hot for children but you do need to do all the usual cover-up procedures during the heat of the day.

I'll make sure the apartment has air-con! thanks for the reply.

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum and just wondered if there are any members based in Crete (or very recent holidayers!) that can tell me the weather in Maleme or Chania at the moment?

There are many websites that report different temperatures - just want to know what to pack!

If anyone reading this has been at the end of May before, please can you let me know if I will need a cardi/jacket at night?

Thanks!

We came back from a weeks holiday in Sissi, Crete on May 20th this year, it was hot and sunny all week, around 27C, and never saw a cloud all week, not sure if we were lucky or not.

May is a wonderful time to go to Crete. We always go around May.

Have been there when the temperature has touched 100

I asked the question a few years back about which Greek Island would be best for May and the responses I got were that Crete, Rhodes and Kos were the best options.

In the end I ignored that advice :really and went to Zakynthos and had 10 days of 25c+ temperatures. Was just a bit cooler when we landed but it got out lovely.

The only thing we found with May was that not everything was open, but as long as there was one bar and one restaurant we would have settled for that (there was far more than that tbh).

Have fun :tup

Hi
I go to crete in the first week of june and have done so for the past 2years it has never under 30c and out of all that time had one slighty cloudy day would of thought if you are going the back end of May you would very near the same sort of weather.

Cheers Andy

We have changed our holiday this year from Spain to Crete(Louis Creta Princess) we will be there from Oct 14 for a week and was wondering what the weather is generally like this time of year?

October can be a bit changeable but temp should be fine. If you are unlucky you might experience some rain. However Ive been at he end of october and the weather was great ... temp in the 20's and no rain for the week and sunny on the beach everyday.
Crete is such a wonderful island Im sure you will find it adorable too. Lots of interesting places to visit. :wave:
