Two-Day Water Outage Scheduled in Kissamos, Western Crete

Water supply in the Kissamos area of western Crete will be interrupted for two days due to scheduled maintenance works. Kissamos is a coastal town located roughly 40 kilometers west of Chania, popular with visitors exploring the Gramvousa peninsula and Balos lagoon. During this period, residents and tourists staying in the affected neighborhoods will have no running water. If you are booked into accommodation in or around Kissamos during this time, contact your hotel or rental host to confirm whether your property has water storage tanks, which many Cretan buildings maintain for exactly this purpose. Authorities have confirmed that the water supply will be fully restored once the works are completed. Travelers planning day trips to the area should not be affected, as the disruption is limited to the local supply network. Stock up on bottled water as a precaution if you are staying overnight.
