The Smile of the Child, one of Greece's leading child welfare organizations, is visiting Chania prefecture from May 4 to 8, 2026, as part of a regional tour across Crete. This is the third stop of their journey through the Region of Crete, following earlier visits to other prefectures on the island. The organization focuses on child protection, support for vulnerable youth, and public awareness campaigns. During their stay in Chania, they are expected to engage with local communities, schools, and authorities. Tourists in Chania during this period may encounter organized public activities or information stands connected to the campaign. The visit poses no disruption to travel or sightseeing.
