Three major regions of Crete will be under a medium fire risk level tomorrow, according to the Greek Civil Protection Authority. While medium risk does not mean fires are imminent, conditions such as dry vegetation and seasonal winds can allow flames to spread quickly if ignited. Tourists are advised to avoid lighting fires, barbecues, or discarding cigarettes in outdoor or rural areas. Do not park vehicles on dry grass. If you spot smoke or flames, call the emergency fire service at 199. Stick to marked trails when hiking, and check local updates before heading into forested or remote areas. Authorities monitor conditions daily and can upgrade the risk level with short notice during the summer season.
