Emergency services responded on Friday afternoon after a tourist collapsed while hiking in Adrianos Gorge, near Agios Nikolaos in the Lasithi region of eastern Crete. The fire brigade mobilized quickly and reached the hiker. The tourist's condition is reported to be good following the incident. Hikers planning to explore gorges in Crete should take this as a reminder to prepare adequately before heading out. Key precautions include carrying sufficient water, wearing appropriate footwear, and hiking during cooler morning hours to avoid heat-related illness. Inform someone of your planned route and estimated return time before setting off. Mobile phone signal can be unreliable inside gorges, so consider carrying a whistle or personal locator beacon. In an emergency in Crete, dial 199 for the fire brigade or 112 for general emergency services.
