Greek coastguard and local authorities in Heraklion have responded to a new arrival of migrants at Kaloi Limenes (Fair Havens), a small harbor on the southern coast of Crete. The incident follows improving weather conditions across Greece, which typically leads to increased maritime crossings toward the island. Kaloi Limenes is a quiet coastal village located roughly 75 km south of Heraklion, known among tourists for its biblical connection as the bay where the Apostle Paul sheltered. The area remains accessible and safe for visitors. Tourists traveling along the southern coastal road may encounter temporary coastguard or police presence near the harbor. No disruption to tourist facilities or major transport routes has been reported. Visitors to the area should proceed normally but allow extra time if passing through the village.
