The Port Authority of Chania has raised its alert level due to strong stormy winds expected in the area. Increased readiness measures are now in effect at Chania port. Tourists planning ferry trips to or from Chania should check with their ferry operator before travel, as departures or arrivals may be delayed or cancelled depending on wind conditions. If you are already on the island, avoid coastal areas and open water activities such as boat tours or swimming in exposed beaches until conditions improve. Monitor local weather forecasts and follow any instructions from port authorities or your accommodation. The situation is being actively managed by the port authority, but conditions can change quickly, so staying informed is the best precaution.
