Travel Information
Thanks to its southerly location, Crete has the mildest climate in Greece. The summer season is in full swing between June and September. At this time of year, temperatures hover around the mid 20s and low 30s. In the Lassithi area, light relief is often provided by the ‘meltimi’ wind, which blows in from the north.
Irish citizens don’t need a visa to enter Greece but must have a valid passport. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit https://www.dfa.ie/travel/travel-advice/a-z-list-of-countries/greece/
You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. It’s also a good idea to get a European Health Insurance Card – or EHIC – before leaving Ireland. Though it’s not a substitute for travel insurance, it entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Greek nationals. It won't, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment.
