Caring for your dog in Heraklion

Crete-specific tips for dog owners

Intense Sun

Crete is one of Europe's sunniest places. Avoid midday walks entirely in summer and provide shade and fresh water.

Beach Swimming

Many dogs love sea swims. Rinse salt water off your dog's coat afterwards to prevent irritation.

Rocky Paths

Some countryside trails have rough terrain. Check your dog's paws after walks near Knossos or in the hills.

Warm Locals

Cretans are famously hospitable and many tavernas welcome dogs warmly.

Mild Winters

Heraklion winters are mild. Rain is the main concern; a waterproof coat helps on wetter days.
