Over 3,000 students took part in road safety activities in Chania, western Crete. The initiative, themed "Road education starts at home," engaged children in learning about safer travel habits and sustainable mobility. The events culminated in the 1st Conference on Road Safety and Sustainable Mobility, held at the KAM (Municipal Market of Chania). The program aimed to build awareness among young people about responsible behavior on roads, with children actively demonstrating safe practices. For tourists driving in Crete, this is a reminder that local roads, particularly in and around Chania, are subject to ongoing safety campaigns. Visitors renting cars or scooters should drive carefully, respect local traffic rules, and be aware of pedestrians, especially children, near schools and town centers.
