Water Main Break Causes 12-Hour Outage in Agios Nikolaos

Saturday, 18 April 2026/CretaOne/1 
A broken water main caused nearly 12 hours of water supply disruption in Agios Nikolaos, the main town of Lasithi in eastern Crete. The outage affected roughly half the town, starting from Nikiforos Plastiras Street and spreading across surrounding areas. Repairs have since been carried out to restore service. Tourists staying in or planning to visit Agios Nikolaos should check with their accommodation to confirm water supply has been fully restored. The town is a popular base for exploring the Gulf of Mirabello and the wider Lasithi region. Such infrastructure incidents are typically resolved within a day, but it is worth contacting your hotel directly if you have upcoming bookings in the area.
