Questions about the weather on this route

Are overnight ferries from Piraeus to Chania affected by Meltemi winds?

Yes, but mostly in summer. Meltemi winds can cause rougher sea conditions on the central and southern Aegean Sea. Speeds often reach 50–60 km/h in July and August. Large overnight ferries generally sail as planned but may experience moderate rolling.

What are typical sea conditions on the Piraeus–Chania route?

Wave heights average 1.0–2.0 meters. In strong Meltemi conditions, waves may reach 2.5–3.0 meters, especially in open waters south of the Cyclades. Winter storms also create short but steep waves.
