Is Crete worth it this weekend?
Weather watch
Treat the numbers as the story for Crete: temperature band and rain risk, then decide if the trip is on.
Crete, Crete
Weekend air in Crete sits near 76°F / 64°F, plus a dry outlook with little to no rain — enough to decide whether the trip is on.
Use the outlook as the itinerary filter: plan the outdoor pieces when 76°F feels right, and keep a café backup if clouds show up.
If the numbers still look good by Friday, lock the plan around 76°F — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”
