✨ JUST BOOKED: HERSONISSOS, CRETE – AUGUST 2026 ✨🇬🇷☀️
Another brilliant family holiday booked for Kerri and her two children for the first week of August. Greece was always the plan… and the Greek Islands won. So Crete it is.
✅ 4 bars
✅ 1 restaurant
✅ Splash park for the kids
✅ Beachfront location
All the boxes. Ticked. 👏
Here are a few fun facts about Crete in August:
🌡️ It’s peak summer weather
Expect hot, sunny days. Crete often sits around 28–32°C in August.
🌊 The sea feels like a bath
Sea temperatures are usually around 25–27°C, so you can swim morning to evening.
🌬️ You might catch the Meltemi breeze
A cooling wind can blow across the Aegean in summer. It’s a lifesaver in the heat.
🌅 Long light evenings
Sunset is often after 8pm, perfect for beach walks and seaside dinners.
🍉 August is fruit heaven
Think watermelon, figs and grapes everywhere. Fresh, sweet, and so refreshing.
🐢 You could spot sea turtle activity
Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) nest in Greece in summer. You won’t always see them, but it’s a lovely “maybe” while you’re there.
Kerri, it was a delight to search and find your dream holiday. We hope you and the children have a fabulous time and we can’t wait to see and hear all about it. 🥰
