Back to newsA new Police Sub-Directorate has been inaugurated in the Mesara region of southern Crete, with the ceremony attended by Lefteris Avgenakis, a prominent Greek political figure. The Mesara plain, located in the Heraklion regional unit, is home to key archaeological sites including Phaistos and Gortyna, and attracts significant tourist traffic. The establishment of a dedicated sub-directorate signals an expansion of law enforcement presence in the area, which spans rural communities and coastal villages along the Libyan Sea. For visitors, this means improved local police coverage across the region. Tourists requiring police assistance in the Mesara area can now access a dedicated local authority rather than relying solely on Heraklion city services.
