Back to newsHeavy rainfall across Crete has significantly replenished the island's water reservoirs, bringing them to high capacity levels. This is positive news for the island heading into the summer tourist season, as water availability has historically been a concern during the dry months of June through September. Visitors can expect normal water supply conditions at hotels and accommodations throughout the island. The rainfall also benefits local agriculture, contributing to the fresh produce available at markets and restaurants. Tourists currently on the island should be aware that mountain roads and hiking trails may remain wet and slippery following the rains, so extra caution is advised if exploring inland areas or gorges such as Samaria in the coming days.
