Back to newsA 14-year-old is in intensive care (ICU) following a fall from an electric scooter in Crete. The incident highlights the risks associated with electric scooters, which are widely available for rent at tourist destinations across the island. Visitors renting electric scooters or allowing children to use them should ensure proper helmets are worn at all times, as Greek law requires protective gear for riders. Parents are advised to supervise minors closely when using any motorized rental vehicles. Tourists should also be aware that road surfaces in Crete, particularly on older streets and coastal paths, can be uneven and contribute to accidents. Exercise caution and check local rental terms regarding age restrictions before renting scooters for younger travelers.
