Back to newsGreek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis held a regional meeting in Crete to address the island's growing water scarcity challenges. Key topics included the management and potential development of the Almyros river, the Linoperamata area, and plans for an energy zone on the island. Regional officials, including Menelaos Bokeas, participated in the discussions. The Almyros river, located near Heraklion, is one of Crete's significant freshwater sources and its sustainable use is central to long-term water supply planning for the island. For visitors, water conservation remains important across Crete, particularly during summer months. Tourists are encouraged to use water responsibly at accommodations and be aware that some inland and rural areas may experience supply limitations during peak season. No immediate disruptions to tourist facilities are expected as a result of this meeting.
