Is July WIndy In Crete?

Sirocco Winds In Crete

A rather unpleasant weather phenomenon that can manifest itself during this month is dust storms, which come all the way from the Sahara desert. Carried by the sirocco wind, desert sand can blur the skies and create mildly uncomfortable conditions, however, these storms rarely last long and dissipate within a day.

Things to do in Crete in July

Surfing and Windsurfing

Crete's diverse beaches and numerous conflicting winds make the island a popular spot for surfing and windsurfing. Surf can come from any direction in Crete, but it pays to get in touch with local surfers and windsurfers to find out the best spots, plus to be aware of the pitfalls and any risky beaches.

Golden Bay

For surfing, there are at least 18 beaches that have been filed internationally as surfing beaches. Between them you can find beginner's beach breaks such as those at Golden Bay and rocky, challenging beaches for experienced surfers such as Sfinari beach.

Windsurfing is even more widespread in Crete, with schools in every major town and virtually every tourist-friendly beach offering windsurfs for rent. However, the local laws prohibit surfing and windsurfing on certain, dangerous beaches so do your homework!

 

 

Yakinthia festival

Held at the end of July, this festival combines traditional folk tradition with Cretan music, to celebrate love and hope. An unforgettable experience in a beautiful, natural environment. A domed chapel constructed of flat stones was built to honour St. Hyacinth, the Patron Saint of love. Along side this chapel, sits a stone theatre where concerts are held beneath the shadows of trees.
