Migration Minister Pleuris has announced plans for two temporary accommodation centers for migrants in Crete, responding to appeals from the mayor of Heraklion. The facilities will be established in Chania and Heraklion, the island's two largest cities.
The initiative is part of the government's broader strategy to manage migration challenges across Greece while ensuring adequate services for vulnerable populations. The response follows mounting pressure from local authorities to address migrant reception and accommodation needs on the island.
