Back to newsA two-year-old child nearly drowned in the sea in Crete in a recent incident, highlighting the water safety risks that apply to all beachgoers, including families with young children. Cretan beaches are generally well-equipped with lifeguards during peak summer months, but supervision can vary by location and time of day. Tourists visiting with children are advised to choose beaches with certified lifeguard coverage, keep young children within arm's reach at all times in or near the water, and use appropriate flotation devices. The Mediterranean sea, while calm in appearance, can have unexpected currents near rocky areas and in open water. Always check local beach safety flags before entering the water.
