Back to newsA large-scale major accident response drill will take place on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 09:30, at the Crete Naval Station (Nafstathmos Kritis) in the Chania region. The exercise simulates a serious incident and involves emergency response teams practicing coordinated procedures across the naval base area.
For visitors in or around Chania on that morning, be aware that there may be increased emergency vehicle activity, temporary road restrictions, or visible emergency operations near the naval base. These are part of a planned training exercise and do not indicate a real emergency. The drill is expected to take place during morning hours, so tourists exploring the Chania area that day should allow extra time if traveling near the naval station and remain calm if they see sirens or emergency personnel on site.
