What's the weather like in Crete in June?
The weather was lovely and warm when I visited Crete in June. I went early in the month which is the start of the summer season. So although it was warm it wasn't the hottest. I think temperatures were around 21C so for me this is a comfortable day rather than it being too hot or too cold.

I spent the majority of my holiday on the beach and by the pool as I was on a girls holiday for a friends birthday but there was plenty of things to do if we wanted to go further afield. There are waterparks, watersports an aquarium and much more so there is definitely something for everyone.
