Back to newsGreece's social security agency (e-EFKA) and public employment service (DYPA) are scheduled to process payments totaling approximately 1.37 billion euros to around 2.67 million beneficiaries between April 20 and 24, 2026. Recipients include pensioners, unemployment benefit claimants, and other social welfare beneficiaries across the country, including Crete. These routine monthly disbursements cover pensions and state support programs. For tourists, this period may see slightly higher foot traffic at local banks and ATMs as residents collect payments, so plan accordingly if you need cash. Otherwise, this administrative update has no direct impact on visitor activities, transport, or access to sites across the island.
