Abstract: The growing energy demand, as well as the European policy framework supporting the sustainable development, has strengthened the global interest in wind power installations during the last two decades. The interest is higher in areas with promising natural terrain, such as the Greek islands. The region of the island of Crete encourages the siting of wind farms due to the strong wind potential and the insular rough terrain.
