Back to newsThe Greek Fire Service has issued a high wildfire risk warning for three of Crete's four regional units today: Heraklion, Rethymno, and Lasithi. These areas face elevated danger due to dry and windy summer conditions typical of July. Tourists visiting these regions should avoid lighting fires, using barbecues, or discarding cigarettes in or near vegetation. If you are hiking or exploring rural areas, stay on marked trails and check local conditions before heading out. In the event of a wildfire, follow instructions from local authorities and emergency services. The non-emergency fire service information line is 199. Visitors staying in villas or remote accommodations should familiarise themselves with evacuation routes and keep emergency contacts handy.
