The climate of Elounda on the island of Crete (Greece)
Elounda is located on the north coast of Crete on the Elounda Bay. Off
the coast the Spinalonga archipelago is situated. The island of
Kalidonia is part of this archipelago. A fortress can be found on this
island which was used as a leper colony till the second part of last
century. Nowadays this fortress is an important tourist attraction for
Crete. Elounda Bay is an excellent location for a refreshing dive.
Elounda has a Mediterranean climate with mild and wet winters and warm
and dry summers. Winters are not too cold which makes this place
suitable as a winter sun destination. However, do not expect
temperatures to be high enough to lie on the beach every day. Summers
are pleasantly warm. An ever blowing sea breeze offers some cooling.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
