Back to newsA fire has broken out in the Heraklion area of Crete. Details remain limited at the time of reporting, but authorities are expected to respond promptly given the region's fire management infrastructure. Visitors in or around Heraklion should monitor local emergency updates, avoid any areas where smoke is visible, and follow instructions from local authorities or hotel staff. During summer months, fire risk across Crete is elevated due to dry conditions and heat, so tourists are advised to stay on marked paths, avoid open flames in outdoor areas, and keep emergency contact numbers handy. The local emergency number in Greece is 112. Check with your accommodation for any updates affecting planned excursions or travel routes in the Heraklion area.
