These two prefectures, which cover a large portion of central and eastern Crete including popular areas around Heraklion city, the Lasithi Plateau, and Agios Nikolaos, are classified as high-risk zones for the day. Tourists visiting these areas should avoid lighting fires, barbecues, or discarding cigarettes outdoors. Do not park vehicles on dry grass.
