Back to newsThe city of Chania, in western Crete, is moving forward with a major public-private partnership project to build eight new schools. The contract is expected to be signed in July 2026, with construction work scheduled to begin in October. The project also includes the reconstruction of the Peace and Friendship Park in the city. While this development does not directly affect tourists, it signals continued infrastructure investment in Chania. Visitors to the area in autumn should be aware that some construction activity may begin near affected neighborhoods. Chania remains fully accessible and its historic old town, harbor, and beaches are unaffected by the planned works.
