Three prefectures in Crete are forecast to face high wildfire risk tomorrow, July 13, 2026. While the article does not specify which three prefectures are affected, Crete's summer conditions, including strong winds, high temperatures, and dry vegetation, regularly elevate fire danger across the island during July and August. Tourists visiting Crete tomorrow should take the following precautions: avoid lighting fires or barbecues in outdoor or forested areas, do not discard cigarettes from vehicles or in nature, and stay away from areas where smoke is visible. If you are hiking or exploring rural areas, check local conditions before setting out and keep emergency contact numbers accessible. The Greek emergency number is 112, and the fire service can be reached at 199. Follow instructions from local authorities if a fire breaks out near your location.
