Tourism and business associations in Heraklion have formally addressed the Heraklion Port Authority (OLH SA) over concerns related to migration flows through the port. The intervention signals that local industry stakeholders consider the situation significant enough to require coordinated action at the port level. Heraklion Port is a major entry point for ferries arriving from Athens (Piraeus) and other Greek islands. Travelers using the port should expect possible additional checks or processing times at arrival and departure. No disruption to scheduled ferry services has been reported at this time. Visitors arriving by sea are advised to allow extra time when transiting the port and to follow instructions from port staff and authorities on site.
