Greek Coast Guard authorities intercepted a group of 43 migrants who arrived by sea southeast of Kaloi Limenes, a small coastal village on the southern coast of Heraklion prefecture. Kaloi Limenes, known historically as Fair Havens and mentioned in the Bible's Acts of the Apostles, sits along Crete's less-touristed southern shoreline. The arrival was handled by local maritime and border authorities. This type of incident is not uncommon along Crete's southern coast, which faces the open Mediterranean. Tourists visiting the area should expect a normal presence of coast guard vessels offshore. The event has no direct impact on tourist activities, beaches, or travel around the island. Visitors to the Heraklion region can continue their plans without disruption.
