Greek Migration Minister Pleuris has requested that the Region of Crete hand over the former vehicle inspection center (KTEO) building for use as a migrant reception facility. The minister addressed regional authorities directly, noting that locations in Crete cannot be continuously refused for this purpose. The Region of Crete has not yet confirmed whether it will approve the request. This is an administrative matter between national and regional government and has no direct impact on tourist travel or activities across the island. Visitors to Crete can continue their plans without disruption.
