Back to newsEastern Crete is facing a serious shortage of lifeguards on its beaches this summer, according to local authorities. The deficit affects multiple coastal areas in the eastern part of the island, raising safety concerns during peak tourist season. Beaches without adequate lifeguard coverage pose a higher risk for swimmers, particularly in areas with strong currents or less predictable sea conditions. Tourists visiting beaches in Eastern Crete are advised to check whether their chosen beach has a lifeguard on duty before swimming, swim in designated areas marked by flags, and avoid entering the water alone or during adverse conditions. Children should be supervised closely at all times. When in doubt, ask locals or beach staff about current safety conditions before heading into the sea.
