Plakias Climate
With over 300 sunny days a year, Crete boasts one of the best climates in Europe. While the island enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, winters can bring snow to the mountains. Rainfall is higher along the northern coast and in the mountains. For most of the year, northwesterly winds prevail, but in August, stronger northerly winds create cool, breezy conditions ideal for surfing. Occasionally, warm southern winds raise summer temperatures.
