Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced a package of measures aimed at reducing the cost of living across Greece, unveiled ahead of the Thessaloniki International Fair, the country's main annual economic policy event. Key announcements include reductions in fuel prices and a freeze on selected consumer goods prices. The government also outlined plans for major infrastructure projects nationwide, which may include road and public works improvements relevant to travelers in Crete.

The announcements were made in a favorable political climate for the ruling New Democracy party, which holds a lead in current polls. No specific Crete-only measures were detailed in this announcement.
