Visitors to Crete are reminded to exercise caution when swimming, particularly at beaches without lifeguard supervision. Currents along the Cretan coastline can be unpredictable, and conditions may change quickly even on calm-looking days. Always check whether a beach is patrolled, swim within marked areas, and avoid entering the water alone or after consuming alcohol. If you witness someone in distress at sea, call the Greek Coast Guard immediately at 108.
