Greece Allocates €15M to Combat Drought on Nine Islands

Wednesday, 24 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
Greece has allocated €15 million to address drought conditions affecting nine Greek islands. The funding aims to improve water supply infrastructure and resilience across the affected areas. While the specific islands targeted have not been detailed in this report, drought is a recurring concern across the Aegean and Ionian regions during summer months. Visitors to Crete and other Greek islands should be mindful of water conservation during their stay: take shorter showers, avoid leaving taps running, and follow any local guidance posted at accommodations. Many hotels and villas already implement water-saving measures. This investment signals a broader government effort to ensure sustainable water access for both residents and the millions of tourists who visit Greek islands each year, particularly during peak summer season from June through August.
