Retour aux actusOn Thursday, June 4, the municipality of Chania will conduct a civil protection drill called "ARIADNI 2026" at Chania City Hall. The exercise simulates a wildfire response scenario and tests the organized preventive evacuation of residents. The drill is part of Greece's annual preparedness efforts ahead of the high-risk summer fire season. Tourists visiting the Chania region around that date may notice increased emergency service activity or temporary disruptions near the city center. No evacuation of visitors is planned. If you are traveling to western Crete this summer, it is worth knowing that wildfires are a real seasonal risk across the island. Keep an eye on local alerts, follow instructions from authorities, and check the Greek Civil Protection website (112.gov.gr) for real-time safety updates during your stay.
