What June Feels Like in Chania

June feels confidently summery. Days are bright and dry, with long stretches of sunshine and minimal weather disruption.

The overall rhythm shifts toward outdoor living, with mornings and evenings becoming the most comfortable times for activity.

Daytime temperatures are warm and can feel hot under direct sun, especially during midday hours.
