Two tourists required emergency medical attention at the port of Chania on Saturday evening after collapsing due to alcohol intoxication. The incidents occurred separately, and in both cases Greek emergency services (EKAB) responded and transported the individuals to Chania General Hospital. Visitors enjoying Chania's vibrant harbor area are reminded that the combination of heat, sun exposure, and alcohol can lead to rapid dehydration and serious health complications. The port district is popular for nightlife and dining, and medical emergencies of this kind are more common during peak summer months. If you or someone in your group feels unwell, call 166 for EKAB ambulance services or 112 for general emergency assistance. Drinking water regularly, eating before consuming alcohol, and avoiding excessive drinking in high temperatures are practical steps to stay safe during your time in Crete.
