Back to newsA forest fire in Greece spread to two industrial facilities, causing significant damage. While the exact location within Crete has not been confirmed in available reports, wildfires remain a seasonal risk across the island, particularly during dry summer months. Tourists should stay informed through local authorities and avoid hiking in areas under fire alert. If you notice smoke or flames, contact emergency services at 199 (fire brigade) or 112 (general emergency). Avoid driving through affected zones and follow road closure instructions from local police. Check with your accommodation or rental car provider for any route restrictions. During peak summer heat, tourists are advised to carry water, avoid open fires, and refrain from discarding cigarettes outdoors.
