Back to newsA fire broke out in Skalani, a village located a few kilometers southeast of Heraklion in central Crete. The incident was reported by local news outlet GOODnet.gr. Skalani sits in a rural area inland from the capital, and fires in this region can affect road access and air quality in the broader Heraklion area. Visitors staying in or traveling through Heraklion should monitor local updates and follow instructions from authorities. During summer months, fire risk in Crete is elevated due to dry conditions and high temperatures. Tourists are advised to avoid lighting fires outdoors, to stay on marked paths in rural areas, and to call the European emergency number 112 if they spot a fire.
