On May 1st, workers from the PAGNI University Hospital Union joined the annual Labour Day rally in central Heraklion. Union representatives and members gathered at symbolic locations across the city center to lay wreaths as part of the traditional May Day strike demonstration. Labour Day (Protomagia) is a national public holiday in Greece, and gatherings like this are common in major cities. Tourists visiting Heraklion on May 1st should expect some street closures or temporary disruptions around the city center, particularly near Liberty Square (Plateia Eleftherias). Most shops, museums, and tourist sites operate on reduced hours or may be closed for the holiday. Plan ahead if visiting on this date.
