If you are planning a trip to Greece, visiting Crete in June is a perfect way to combine a vacation by the beach with numerous cultural activities and excursions. The weather is comfortable in all ways – the days are sunny and the temperature is at around 28°C, but not too humid or stiff and the sea is warm. Water sports, especially diving, is extremely popular in Crete in June.

In June, you can enjoy a trip to the mountains, visiting the Knossos Palace and walking all day through the narrow pedestrian streets in the old Rethymnon, while during the other months of the summer it is rather hot. There are various festivals and celebrations that take place, like the Music Festival in Sitia, as well as St. John’s Day, when some smaller villages host food festivals.
