Firefighters responded to a house fire in Souda, a port town on the northwestern coast of Crete near Chania. Emergency services were mobilized to contain the blaze. Souda is home to a major commercial port and NATO naval base, and is a common arrival point for ferry passengers traveling from Athens and other Greek islands. No details on injuries or the cause of the fire have been reported. Tourists passing through or staying in the Chania region should expect no disruption to ferry services at this time, but should monitor local updates if traveling through Souda. As a general safety reminder during the summer months, fire risk across Crete is elevated due to dry conditions, so visitors should follow all posted warnings and avoid open flames in rural or wooded areas.
