Back to newsHeraklion and other areas across Crete are introducing stricter regulations for electric scooters, affecting both rental services and privately owned devices. Authorities are tightening rules around where e-scooters can be ridden, speed limits, helmet requirements, and designated parking zones, following concerns about pedestrian safety and pavement congestion in tourist-heavy areas. Riders found in violation face fines. For visitors planning to rent an electric scooter during their stay, it is important to check local signage, stay off pedestrian zones, and confirm that your rental provider supplies compliant equipment. Major tourist centers including Heraklion city center are among the most affected areas. Tourists are advised to ask rental operators directly about current permitted routes and any documentation required before riding.
