Friday, 10 July 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

The Municipality of Heraklion has launched a comprehensive cleaning program covering streets, squares, and public shared spaces across the city. The initiative is part of a coordinated mixed-sanitation system and is currently in full operation. Work targets high-traffic areas throughout Heraklion, including public squares and pedestrian zones commonly visited by tourists. Cleaning crews are active across the municipality, and some areas may experience temporary access restrictions or wet surfaces during operations. Visitors exploring Heraklion on foot should take care on freshly washed paving stones, which can be slippery, particularly in shaded or uneven areas. The program reflects ongoing municipal efforts to maintain cleanliness standards during the busy summer season. Tourists visiting the city center, the Venetian harbor, or the old town should expect increased cleaning activity in public spaces throughout July.
