Heraklion is experiencing a 24-hour water supply interruption following a serious break in a main supply pipeline.

Tourists staying in hotels or accommodations in central Heraklion should contact their host or front desk to confirm whether their property is affected. Most hotels maintain water reserves that cover short-term disruptions, but it is advisable to stock up on bottled water as a precaution. Repair crews are working to restore service. Visitors planning activities in Heraklion city center during this period should account for potential inconvenience at restaurants or public facilities. Check with local authorities or your accommodation for updates on when supply will be restored.
