The Court of Auditors has approved the waste management and street cleaning contract for the Municipality of Heraklion, Crete's largest city. The approval clears the way for the municipality to move forward with organised sanitation services covering public spaces, streets, and tourist areas across the city. For visitors, this means Heraklion's historic centre, harbour, and main thoroughfares should benefit from consistent and properly funded cleaning operations going forward. The contract approval follows standard Greek public procurement oversight, ensuring the tendering process met legal requirements before work can begin. Tourists exploring Heraklion's Venetian fortress, the Archaeological Museum, or the central market can expect maintained public cleanliness standards as a result of this formalised service agreement.
