Climatic features of the region
Chania is located in the western part of the island, which is also the greenest part of it. It rains very often in winter, and summers are dry and hot. During the winter, the land is highly saturated with moisture, so the trees in the warm season simply rage with color and greenery. The climate in the Chania region is very mild, so it is best suited for seasonal vacations: in summer the temperature ranges from 24 to 30 degrees on average, and in winter it does not drop below 13 degrees. There are no severe frosts here, so the earth never freezes, and the plants do not suffer. The water warms up towards the end of July or the beginning of August, depending on the degree of winter cold. It often happens that the temperature of the sea water reaches 25 degrees. We can say that the beaches of Chania await holidaymakers all year round, if you do not take into account the winter rains and not very pleasant winds.
