Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is scheduled to visit Crete on Monday to address the island's ongoing water shortage crisis. The visit signals that water scarcity has become a priority at the national government level, with authorities working to find solutions for the region. Water shortages in Crete, particularly in drier eastern and central areas, can occasionally affect tourist accommodations during peak summer months. Visitors should be aware that some areas may have water use restrictions in place. Staying in hotels with proper water management certifications and being mindful of consumption, such as taking shorter showers and reusing towels, is advisable. Travelers planning visits to rural or less urbanized parts of the island should check local conditions in advance.
