Crete is one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations, especially in the summer months, and it’s no surprise why! With hundreds of kilometers of coastline and endless options for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports, the island offers an unforgettable experience that captivates every visitor. Crete enjoys long hours of sunshine daily, with bright sunlight from early morning until late afternoon. During summer, temperatures rise, and visitors soak up the full glory of the Greek sun!

However, strong sunshine calls for attention to health protection. Sunglasses are essential to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, which are especially strong this time of year. It’s important to choose quality sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection to avoid long-term eye issues.
