Fire danger across Crete is forecast to be very high tomorrow, according to Greek civil protection authorities. Conditions including dry vegetation, low humidity, and strong winds create elevated risk across the island. Tourists are advised to avoid lighting fires, barbecues, or discarding cigarettes outdoors in any form. Do not park vehicles on dry grass, as exhaust heat can ignite fires. If you spot a fire, call the emergency number 112 immediately. Hiking in forested or rural areas carries additional risk on high-danger days, so check local advisories before heading out. Authorities may impose restrictions on access to certain natural areas during extreme fire risk periods. Stay informed through local news or the Greek Civil Protection website for updated warnings throughout your visit.
