Back to newsGreek Deputy Minister Sofia Zacharaki visited student housing facilities currently under construction in Crete, inspecting progress on new university residences being built on the island. The project is part of a broader national effort to expand affordable student accommodation at Greek universities. Crete hosts the University of Crete and the Hellenic Mediterranean University, both of which attract students from across Greece and abroad. The new residences aim to ease housing pressure in university cities such as Heraklion and Rethymno. For visitors, this construction activity may cause localized traffic disruption near campus areas in those cities. The development reflects ongoing investment in Crete's educational infrastructure, contributing to the island's growth as a year-round destination beyond seasonal tourism.
