Back to newsA group of migrants arrived on the southern coast of Crete in a recent maritime crossing. Southern Crete, including areas around Hora Sfakion, Loutro, and the Libyan Sea coastline, occasionally sees such arrivals due to its proximity to North Africa. Greek coast guard and local authorities responded to manage the situation. For tourists visiting the southern coast, beaches and hiking trails, including the popular Samaria Gorge route, remain open and accessible. Travelers in the area may notice an increased presence of coast guard vessels offshore, which is not unusual for this region. No disruption to ferry services or tourist facilities has been reported. Visitors planning trips to southern Crete can proceed with their plans as normal.
