Crete-specific tips for dog owners
Crete is one of Europe's sunniest places. Avoid midday walks entirely in summer and provide shade and fresh water.
Many dogs love sea swims. Rinse salt water off your dog's coat afterwards to prevent irritation.
Some countryside trails have rough terrain. Check your dog's paws after walks near Knossos or in the hills.
Cretans are famously hospitable and many tavernas welcome dogs warmly.
Heraklion winters are mild. Rain is the main concern; a waterproof coat helps on wetter days.
