The climate of Agios Nikolaos on the island of
Crete (Greece)
Agios Nikolaos, officially Agios Nicolaos Lasithiou is a small port in
the northern part of Crete on the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the
first places on Crete that was discovered by tourists. Nowadays it is
a little less popular with tourists. However, the city still attracts
a lot of tourists each year. In the city itself the Panagia church and
the Agia Triada cathedral can be found. A small harbour is situated in
the Voulismeni lake. According to several myths this lake is said to
be bottomless. Agios Nikolaos has a warm Mediterranean climate
influenced by the Mediterranean Sea. During the warmest days of the
year an ever blowing sea breeze offers some cooling. Winters are mild
and very wet. Summers are warm, sometimes hot and very dry. During the
summer rainfall is uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
