Back to newsA large wildfire broke out in Bramiana, a village in eastern Crete, and authorities have determined the cause was citizen negligence. Firefighting crews responded to contain the blaze in the area. Bramiana is located in the Lasithi regional unit, inland from the Gulf of Mirabello. Visitors traveling through or near the eastern part of the island should monitor local conditions, as wildfires in dry summer months can affect road access and air quality in surrounding areas. Follow guidance from local authorities and check road status before traveling through rural eastern Crete. Avoid lighting fires, including campfires and barbecues, in open or forested areas, as conditions in Crete during summer are highly prone to rapid fire spread.
