French School May Day Festival in Chania Postponed

Wednesday, 29 April 2026/Haniotika Nea/1 
The May Day celebration planned at the French School (Galiki Scholi) in Chania has been postponed. The event was organized by the Technical University of Crete in partnership with the Municipality of Chania and local organizations. No new date has been announced yet. Visitors who had planned to attend should check with the Technical University of Crete or the Chania Municipality for updated scheduling. May Day (May 1) is a public holiday in Greece, with many businesses and services operating on reduced hours. Tourists in Chania on that date should plan accordingly, as some shops and offices may be closed while outdoor celebrations and wreath-weaving traditions typically still take place in public spaces across the city.
