Weather in Sissi – Hot dry climate in an unspoilt fishing village
Located on the north coast of Crete, 24 miles east of Heraklion (and the airport) and 3 miles east of Malia, Sissi experiences an exceptionally long hot summer season, contrasted with shorter winters where snowfall is not uncommon. Summer temperatures can reach as high as 26C in August – perfect for those afternoons spent topping up your tan on the gorgeous soft sandy beaches. You can expect very little rainfall throughout June, July and August. The maximum winter temperature in Sissi is 14C (in December) – ideal weather for exploring the wonderful Lassithi Plateau or the many charming Crete villages nearby without feeling all hot and bothered! Rainfall is relatively high throughout the winter season.
 
Sissi Weather – Long holiday season, plenty of sunshine
The long holiday season in Sissi stretches from April to October, with July and August being the hottest summer months as temperatures soar to 26C. Throughout June, July and August you can expect 12 hours of sunshine. The clear blue waters are perfect for a gentle paddle or a swim, and the cool winds blowing in from Sissi’s undulating rocky outcrop also help take the edge off the scorching heat. In the cooler months (May and September) you can still pick up a tan as the average temperature is 23C.
